A Denver Detective has been accused by the victim of an alleged assault of encouraging the victim to lie about the extent of injuries suffered. According to alleged assault victim, Allen Andes, Denver police Detective Paul Baca encouraged him to say that assailants broke a tooth during an attack. The problem–the tooth had been chipped prior to the alleged incident.

As a result of these claims, an internal police investigation has been launched. Moreover, Denver District Attorneys have taken the step of reducing the level of assault charges against the assailants from felony level assault to that of a misdemeanor assault.

Andes had originally claimed that he was attacked by a group of about eight black males in a racially motivated attack ocurring in downtown Denver.

medical- marijuana dispensaries in the city were robbed or burglarized at a lower rate last year than either banks or liquor stores.
