Today's riddle: What has a cap but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Colorado man accused of pretending to be licensed doctor, illegally performing plastic surgery (king5.com) — Lakewood residents should know that a man is accused of posing as a doctor at Bare Beauty Aesthetic Care in town, where prosecutors say he performed unauthorized cosmetic surgeries. After a state complaint, Lakewood police investigated, a grand jury issued an 11‑count indictment, and he's now jailed on a high bond while facing assault and unauthorized practice charges.
2. 1 person rushed to hospital after apartment fire, Lakewood firefighters rescue 2 dogs (dailydispatch.com) — An early-morning apartment fire in Lakewood's Belmar area sent one person to the hospital and prompted firefighters to rescue two dogs from a ground-floor unit. Sprinklers kept the blaze contained to one room with no structural damage, but residents say alarms have been frequent, and investigators are still working to determine the cause.
3. Two Drivers Stopped in the Middle of I-70 in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, and One Grabbed a Tire Iron — Then Both Got the Same Summons (theautowire.com) — A dangerous road‑rage clash on I‑70 in Wheat Ridge ended with both drivers getting disorderly conduct summonses, and Lakewood's drone program helped locate one car at Colorado Mills mall. The article explains why no traffic or weapons charges were filed, how Colorado law treats such fights, and what State Patrol recommends if you encounter aggressive driving nearby.
4. Jeffco Public Schools launches fleet of electric school buses (denvergazette.com) — Electric school buses are already running routes in Lakewood, especially near new charging terminals and serving Title 1 schools, meaning some local students now ride quieter, zero-emission buses. Jeffco Public Schools is testing this small fleet with help from grants and Xcel Energy, and may expand the program if costs and performance continue to pencil out.
