DENVER (KDVR) — A suspect was arrested by the Arvada Police Department last week for reportedly threatening a woman with a pair of pruning shears.

The incident happened on Sept. 3 at Independence Park on 67th Place, where a community member said she had been threatened with a pair of pruning shears while walking her dog.

She said the suspect had the shears separated, with one blade in each hand, and chased her across the park before she was able to call for help.

The Arvada Police Department drone team arrived and began searching for the suspect, who was found hiding in a heavily wooded area near a pond southwest of West 67th Place and Garland Court. • The shears found on the scene.
