Police say a Brighton woman offered a CU student and his cousin drugs and threatened to kill them.
According to a police report, Kevin Sours, 22, a junior biochemistry major and doctoral candidate, and his cousin Skyler Collins, 17, were involved in an altercation with Dianne Trujillo, 28, of Brighton.
Officers contacted the three on 13th Street in front of the Fox Theatre on Friday evening. Trujillo accused the two men of following her around the area near the Fox, calling her an “undercover cop” and a “fat bitch.” She also told police that Sours and Collins asked her if she had any “meth.”
Collins told police that Trujillo asked him and Sours if they wanted to purchase “meth” and ecstasy. He also said that he and Sours left the area but returned soon afterward to find Trujillo attempting to sell people drugs. Collins said that Trujillo yelled at him, threatened to kill him and punched and kicked at him, and that he ran into the University Hill Deli to escape.
Witnesses nearby corroborated both Trujillo’s claim of being called a “fat bitch” and Collins’s claim of returning to the area, being yelled at, and running into the deli to escape. According to the police narrative, police could observe “a fairly long scratch along the left side of Collins’ neck,” and “blood on that area of his neck from a distance of approximately twelve feet.”
According to the police report, Trujillo charged at Collins while police were interviewing witnesses. Police knocked her to the ground, handcuffed her and applied hobbles to her waist and legs before loading her into an ambulance. Trujillo then allegedly spit at EMS personnel.
Collins and Sours could not be reached for comment. The person answering Trujillo’s telephone said that she was still in jail.
Police also responded on Friday to a report of felony menacing in the 900 block of Pleasant Street.
Two unidentified men allegedly became involved in an altercation at a party, left and returned with a golf club. They were believed to have knocked a woman down, thrown pebbles at two other people and were “brandishing the golf club.” They had left by the time officers arrived at the scene.
The incident is still under investigation, and the police report is not yet available.
