Last year, a man ended up dead at the hands of a Colorado sheriff's deputy in an after-school pickup line. His alleged crime: accidentally getting into the wrong car.
On February 22, 2022, Pueblo County Deputies Charles McWhorter and Cassandra Gonzales were dispatched to Liberty Point International Middle School. According to an October letter from Pueblo County District Attorney J.E. Chostner, a call came in after school let out of "a suspicious male party trying to open car doors." The caller further said the man, 32-year-old Richard Ward, had gotten "aggressive" with one car's occupants and may have been "on something."
