Welfare check uncovers serious allegations
A late-night well-being call in a Weld County neighborhood led to an arrest and reassurances from deputies that there is no ongoing threat to the community.
A welfare check early Monday morning in a Weld County neighborhood resulted in the arrest of a 28-year-old man on multiple charges involving an underage female, according to the Weld County Sheriff’s Office.
Patrol deputies responded around 12:26 a.m. to a report in the 4700 block of Grand Canyon Drive in the Hill N Park subdivision. The caller reported concerns that an adult male was attempting to engage in sexual activity with a minor.
Following interviews and an investigation at the residence, deputies determined that while no physical contact occurred, the suspect repeatedly asked the victim to have sex, offered alcohol, and created a situation in which the victim did not feel free to leave the room.
Based on the findings, deputies arrested Anthony Fisher, 28, on suspicion of false imprisonment, second-degree contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and harassment. Authorities stated there is no danger to the community at this time.
Anyone with additional information who has not yet contacted law enforcement is encouraged to call 970-350-9600, the tip line at 970-304-6464, or email [email protected].
