On July 20, 2023 around 11:30 a.m., a Larimer County Sheriff’s Office deputy was driving in the area of Lincoln Avenue and 1st Street in north Fort Collins. The deputy noticed a man struggling with a large dog near Buckingham Park. As he got closer, he saw that the dog was actively biting the man, who was unable to escape. The deputy physically intervened and several bystanders tried to help as well. They were briefly able to separate the dog from the victim, but the dog re-engaged and began attacking the man again.

Nine men were recently arrested during a collaborative regional effort to combat child prostitution.

In late June, the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office conducted a two-day undercover operation. Using online forums, men solicited sexual services from investigators posing as underage sex workers. When the men arrived at the agreed upon location, they were met by law enforcement. Five people were arrested during this effort. Following the operation, additional charges were filed and accepted by the 8th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
