Today's riddle: Why was the scarecrow given an award? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Colorado man who went to prison for pretending to be a doctor posed as plastic surgeon again, new indictment alleges (denverpost.com) — Lakewood residents should know that a man previously imprisoned for posing as a doctor in Denver has been indicted again, this time for allegedly performing unlicensed cosmetic surgeries at Bare Beauty Aesthetic Care in Lakewood. Police say at least three patients underwent procedures there in 2025 before state regulators shut the business down, and the suspect is now jailed in Jefferson County on high cash-only bail.
• 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 ended with both drivers cited for disorderly conduct, after Lakewood police used a drone to help locate one car at Colorado Mills mall. The article explains why neither driver faces license-impacting traffic charges, contrasts Wheat Ridge and state laws, and raises questions about whether Colorado should treat road-rage more like Utah does.
• How to Find Your Dream Apartment in a Competitive Market (terristeffes.com) — If you're hunting for an apartment in Lakewood, knowing that median rent sits around $1,717 can help you set a realistic budget before you start touring.
