Overview
- District Court Judge Amanda Hopkins issued the all-hours home confinement order on Wednesday after she viewed a CBS Colorado report that included a cellphone video of an Aug. 26 road‑rage and hit‑and‑run encounter.
- The judge wrote that the person in the video is "very clearly the Defendant," marking the court's first official visual identification linking Morphew to the Denver incident.
- The video shows a man who refused to provide ID or insurance, offered $300 cash, rubbed scratches on a vehicle and left the scene; the truck displayed Indiana plate F397FR which prosecutors say appears in Morphew’s court records.
- Prosecutors filed a motion to further modify Morphew's bond, citing public safety and flight concerns, and a hearing is scheduled next week to consider added restrictions and financial conditions.
- The court ordered Morphew's GPS monitor, Recovery Monitoring Solutions, to turn over monitoring records and any permissions for absence on the incident date, but the provider did not comply and local authorities have not yet filed charges in Denver.
