An 85-year-old man who admits he smacked someone with his cane was in jail Thursday accused of felony assault with a deadly weapon.
His family says what is even more absurd than the allegation is the way Denver police officers hauled him out of bed in the middle of the night and took him away
... When the judge told him he was being held on $50,000 bond charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon, Copeland said he didn’t understand anything that was going on.
“Last night at about 12 o’clock AM, they sent about three policemen to the house to arrest my father,” says Larry Copeland.
... He says there was no need for police to roust his father out of bed in the middle of the night. “My father was in bed, in pain, sick, and they took him to jail.”
Larry Copeland is worried because the family doesn’t have the $50,000 to get his father out of jail. John Copeland spoke to FOX31 Denver from jail Thursday. “He never identified himself or nothin’,” he says about the man he had the altercation with in the parking lot. “And then I opened the door, I had my walkin’ cane, and I got out and I went to grab my parking thing from him.” “He slammed the door on me, and I took my cane and hit him,” Copeland says.Comment: I can't believe he is incarcerated!
Last month as I was walking to work I ran into an acquaintance, Mr. K. Mr. K works at the same company where I work and even in IT.
Because IT at my company is so large (I think over 20,000 people) I don't work directly with Mr. K or even see him often. But we do park in the same parking garage. I was asking Mr. K about his handicap and whether his group was going to be relocating from their rented space in building A where we park to Building B where I work.
Building B is 2 blocks from Building A. Mr K said that if he had to move from Building A to B that he would have to "wheelchair it". I said, "you've lost a leg, right?". He said I've lost both of my legs (he has two prosthetic legs).
25 year years ago today I had an accident that injured my spine. I have spinal damage that impacts off of my limbs but particularly my legs and the left leg more so than the right.
My two block walk through the skyway is tiring, but I can make it without "wheelchairing it". I'm glad I have two legs.
