Overview
- Officers responding to suspected open meth use in Central Park pursued 49-year-old Kai Brown into Boulder Creek, where an officer struck his head on a rock and was later discharged from the hospital.
- Police say they recovered multiple small baggies of suspected methamphetamine from Brown.
- Brown faces several counts, including assault, resisting arrest, obstruction, and a special drug offense alleging sales near Boulder High School.
- Prosecutors asked for a $20,000 secured bond citing prior felony drug cases, but Judge Eang Man set a $1,000 secured bond with a $100 cash option.
- Police leadership criticized the decision and announced increased patrols downtown and around Central Park; county records on Thursday showed the bond had not been posted, with a court appearance set for Friday.
