4:48 p.m. An officer provided scene security for a Colorado State Patrol DUI investigation in the 6000 block of Road 25. The driver was arrested by CSP, and the officer stayed with the vehicle until it was towed.

5:46 p.m. A woman in the 32700 block of Road P told dispatch that her boyfriend tried to break into her house, cut her hand with a knife, choked her and bit her. Officers detained him. The woman refused care for her hand, and when the officer asked her to step outside, the woman closed the door and refused to communicate. The boyfriend stated the woman had took his vehicle to her home, broke into his father’s house, left a pair of pants and the keys to the vehicle and took eight jars of cannabis. He said the woman slammed the door on his foot and he left his shoe there to walk away. The boyfriend did not have a knife on him, and he stated he did not cut her. Because the woman would not speak with the officer, no charges were pursued.
