POLICE LOOK FOR POSSIBLE WITNESSES TO SEXUAL ASSAULT

Boulder investigators are looking for two men who may have witnessed the sexual assault of a woman in the 2200 block of Pearl Street during the early morning hours of Thursday, April 17. The victim told police she was assaulted after approaching three men and asking them for a cigarette. She said one man shoved her partially into a parking garage elevator and had sexual intercourse with her. According to the victim, at least one of the other men pulled the assailant away from her in an effort to stop the attack.

The suspect was described as a white male with dark hair, brown eyes and a crew cut. He was about 5 feet 6 inches tall and 175 pounds with a muscular build. He was wearing a light-colored polo-style shirt with jean. He had a thin goatee and "veins popping out of his head." The victim has told police he may have been wearing Old Spice cologne.

The other two males, both considered witnesses, were taller than the suspect. One had light brown hair and a long face. He was wearing a white ball cap with some kind of college insignia and a white or gray hooded sweatshirt. There is only a limited description of the second witness.

HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING

The Boulder County/City of Boulder Office of Emergency Management will present and explain Boulder County's planning process for eliminating or reducing the effects of various hazards during a public meeting at 7 p.m., Wednesday, May 14, at Longmont Fire Station 3, 1000 Pace St., Longmont.

Residents, elected officials, emergency responders and other interested stakeholders are encouraged to attend. The purpose of the meeting is to present and discuss the County's approach to hazard mitigation planning. The Boulder County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee was created to steer the process and consists of representatives from County departments, incorporated municipalities, and school and fire districts. The initial draft of the Boulder County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies and profiles the natural hazards to which the county is vulnerable; quantitatively assesses the vulnerability of the more significant hazards (e.g., flood and wildfire); and includes goals and actions intended to mitigate the effects of these hazards.

Public comment on these aspects of the plan is being sought at this meeting. This will be the first of two public meetings on the plan; a second public meeting will be scheduled later this summer.

For more information, contact Merrie Harper at the Boulder Office of Emergency Management, 303-441-3390, or mharper@bouldercounty.org.
