A 42-year-old Adams County man has pleaded guilty to threatening Gov. Jared Polis and an Adams County prosecutor by voicemail earlier this year.Jeromie Rose pleaded guilty to retaliation against an elected official and retaliation against a prosecutor, the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said in a Monday news release. He received four years of probation in each case, which will run concurrently.“Public service is an honor that comes with certain sacrifices, but personal safety is not one of them,” said Brian Mason, the 17th Judicial DA, in a statement. “The defendant’s actions here were not only outrageous, they were dangerous and they were criminal. Threatening violence against a public official fundamentally undermines the social fabric of society. Public discourse is often fraught, particularly today, but threatening or perpetrating violence is never acceptable. We will prosecute and hold accountable those who do.”Authorities say Rose on June 20 left threaten...Receiver Javon Antonio shows big-play potential in CU Buffs offense

He’s got a ton of collegian experience, so there’s not a whole lot that fazes him. And again, it’s a matter of how fast can he uptake with what’s going on and then be able to apply that and use his physical gifts.”At 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, Antonio is not only CU’s biggest wide receiver; he’s actually bigger than...Homeowners are axing insurance amid rising premiums

Just as high healthcare costs have prompted millions of Americans to forgo health insurance, now some homeowners are skipping home coverage because of rising premiums.The national average for home insurance has risen 20% this year to just over $1,400. Obviously, you can pay a whole lot more in well-heeled places like Southern California.While lower-income homeowners blame high annual costs for ditching coverage, wealthier people say they have enough cash on hand to handle rebuilding, so there's no need to pay a monthly insurance fee.That's bad thinking."It is a risky proposition to go without home insurance, and you need to fully understand the financial consequences if you lose your home," Noah Damsky, a financial adviser in Los Angeles, told the Wall Street Journal.Forgoing home insurance is literally playing with fire.If your residence burns down, you might lose not just your home and all your possessions, but you'll also be on the hook for carting away your home's remains.

In the latest development in the lengthy legal between Santa Clara County and Calvary Chapel, a judge rejected a Santa Clara County bid to increase the $1.2 million court ordered fines owed by the San Jose church for ignoring public health mandates at the height of the pandemic.During a court hearing last Thursday, the county argued the earlier dollar amount was reached in error. The county began fining the Hillsdale Avenue church in August 2020 for holding indoor services with maskless congregants — a violation of public health orders at the time.But the church refused to pay the fines, which in 2022 the county said had amassed to nearly $3 million. In April, Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Evette D. Pennypacker ordered Calvary Chapel to pay $1.2 million, reducing the fines to a specific period — November 2020 through June 2021 — when the church didn’t follow the mask mandate.But last week, the county’s attorneys argued that number fell short o...The San Jose Sharks’ top prospect is starting college today.

Will Smith, the San Jose Sharks’ top prospect, is officially a college student.Smith, 18, is starting classes at Boston College this week, roughly two months after the Sharks selected him fourth overall at the NHL Draft in June.The question now is how long Smith will stay in Chestnut Hill. Could he turn professional after his freshman year, or perhaps stay for an additional season, chase a national title in 2025 if he hasn’t won one already with BC, and sign with the Sharks in two years?Boston College’s standout freshman class also includes fellow first-round picks Gabe Perreault and Ryan Leonard, and Sportsnet draft analyst Sam Cosentino speculated that the college careers of those three players, who were linemates with the U.S. National Development Team, might be tied together to some extent.“I look at Will likely as a one-year college player,” Cosentino told this news organization before the draft in June. “What’s unique about their situation is that the whole line is going...Judge: Peter Navarro’s testimony is ‘weak sauce’

By Devan Cole | CNNThe federal judge overseeing Peter Navarro’s contempt of Congress criminal case on Monday called his defense arguments “pretty weak sauce,” injecting last-minute uncertainty into how the former Donald Trump adviser will be able to defend himself during his upcoming trial.Navarro, Trump’s one-time trade adviser, testified Monday in his defense during a key pre-trial hearing in his case. He’s facing charges for defying subpoenas issued to him by the House select committee that investigated the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, claiming he did so because Trump asserted executive privilege in the matter.But during the nearly three-hour hearing before US District Judge Amit P. Mehta in Washington, DC, the judge appeared highly skeptical of Navarro’s testimony, noting it’s from one side of the conversation.“I still don’t know what the president said,” Mehta told Navarro’s attorney Stanley Woodward, referring to a February 20, 2022, call during which Navarro said it ...Family disturbance leaves father dead, SJPD investigating as homicide
