High Colfax-Way Robbery

You may remember that I go to spin class in the morning before work a couple of times a week. Today was a spin class day.

It started out normal, some warm up music, a little Creedence Clearwater, Pink, Tina Turner, the usual. But somewhere around minute 27, things took a crazy turn. I heard a "twinkly sound" (I for some reason thought it was Christmas noise, like bells or something) and then the fellow-spinner by the door said, "The pot store was just broken into!" And sure enough, the lower portion of the glass door at the Dispensary across the street was broken and shards covered the ground. Hence, the "twinkly sound" that was actually glass breaking. Immediately, our instructor called 911. By minute 30, a gentleman walked out of the Dispensary and calmly picked up his bag, and went on his way. Soon, a cop car showed up and the eye-witness spinner talked to the officer. As they were talking, a few more cop cars arrived on the scene. Soon, the Spinner popped into say "They need me to identify a suspect!" So, she got in the back of the cop car and went with the officer.

At this point, we are all still spinning away, but not really sure how to take it all in! I mean, THAT. JUST. HAPPENED!! In the meantime, while the Spinner was identifying the suspect, our instructor told us about the time SHE rode in the back of a cop car. (It wasn't really her fault, I promise!) By the time class was over and we were in the middle of stretching, the Spinner came back and began filling out a police report. The cops had caught him (barely a block away), she identified him and he was headed to jail.

Yes, medical marijuana is legal in the state of Colorado, but you still have to have a doctor-prescribed prescription, you must enter the dispensary during business hours and you have to pay for it. I think our suspect of the day missed that memo.

WHAT?!?! How's THAT for a Friday morning? And to think, I almost didn't go to spin class this morning . . .
