Boulder police have recaptured a woman who they say missed a court date after brandishing a knife at a school group and threatening them this week.
Alyiah Faith Vega, 52, faces 19 charges of felony menacing and 17 counts of child abuse, according to court records.
Police said in a news release that an arrest warrant for failure to appear was issued after Vega did not show up for a court hearing Thursday afternoon.
Vega was wielding a knife when she started following two teachers and a group of children in the 1700 block of Broadway shortly before 11 a.m. Monday, police said in the release.
The group walked away, and Vega was arrested that day. She was released Tuesday on a $5,000 personal-recognizance bond, which was revoked Thursday.
She was arrested again late Thursday. Police said she originally identified herself using the name of a family member.
Vega also has active warrants out of Boulder County, Lakewood and Edgewater related to drugs, criminal impersonation and DUI, police said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Detective Jonah Snyder at SnyderJ@bouldercolorado.gov or 303-441-3386, referencing case number 25-04126.
