The two men allegedly told officers they were delivering food.
According to Boulder police, one rider identified himself as his brother’s name and gave his date of birth. However, when the man showed the officer a driver’s license, he admitted that he lied and that the man in the photo was his brother.
The man allegedly told officers he lied because he did not have a legal ID and instead provided a passport.
Once the Boulder officer checked the man’s identity, he learned the man had a nationwide warrant out for his arrest. The man was wanted on attempted first-degree murder after deliberation.
He was taken to jail on a $100,000 bond.
