Man Arrested After Forcing Into Colorado Supreme Court After Ballot Decision
Last month, Colorado became the first state to remove Former President Trump from it's Republican primary ballot under the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.
A man was arrested after breaking into the Colorado Supreme Court early Tuesday.
Around 1:15am, 44-year-old Brandon Olsen allegedly crashed before he shot out a window and forced his way into the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center, which houses the state’s Supreme Court, Court of Appeals and several other state agencies.
Last month, Colorado became the first state to remove Former President Trump from it’s Republican primary ballot under the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment. Since then, many threats have been made against the court’s justices. However, this incident is not believed to be associated with the threats, but an investigation is underway.
After, firing many shots, starting a fire, and defacing property, Olsen surrendered to police around 3am.
No injuries were reported and Olsen is now being held for investigation of robbery, burglary and arson.
