Aspen police arrested a man on the pedestrian mall near Wagner Park Friday after he shouted threats and profanities at passersby.
Steven Zimmermann, in town from Dallas with his family, said the man was clearly intoxicated and was “making no sense.”
The man was talking to himself and shouted toward teenagers and other young children, but when he said he’d “open fire on everyone here,” Zimmermann’s brother called police.
Aspen police Officer Forrest Barnett said the man was intoxicated, which violated some protection orders that had been against him. In addition to violating the protection orders, the man also was charged with disorderly conduct and taken to jail.
