Did police in Aurora, Colorado, issue a shelter-in-place order for the city on September 4, 2024, in response to Venezuelan gang violence? No, that's not true: Police told Lead Stories that the shelter-in-place order was due to a SWAT operation to arrest a man wanted on a felony menacing warrant. Residents were asked to stay inside for their safety while officers worked to get him to surrender, which he eventually did without any problems.

Douglas, GA

Daily Coffee Press

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

Gov. Jared Polis signed a property tax bill into law after it was passed by Colorado lawmakers during last month's Special Session. Supporters claim the cuts will save homeowners and small businesses over $1.5 billion every year. The law is also designed to prevent large spikes in property taxes similar to what many Colorado homeowners experienced last year. The measure passed with bipartisan support. The Office of State Planning and Budget says the compromise -- combined with another bill passed in the spring -- will cut taxes $200-$300 a year depending on where you live.Homeowners will save $233 on average next year in Denver, $324 in Adams County, $188 in Garfield County and $173 in Pueblo. The savings go up in 2026. Taxes will also drop for commercial and industrial property owners, including utilities that are required to pass the savings on to ratepayers. Maybe most importantly, the compromise bill caps future increases at 5% to 6% going forward.
