VINCENT
MARTINEZ CHARGED
Denver District
Attorney Bill Ritter, Jr. has filed charges against a Denver
man in connection with a domestic violence assault that
occurred last weekend.
Vincent
Martinez (DOB: 04-30-62) has been charged with two counts
of second-degree assault (F4) and one count of false
imprisonment (F5).
The charges allege
that Martinez assaulted his girlfriend on May 17, 2004 and
that he assaulted her again on July 11, 2004 while refusing to
let her leave her home. Martinez fled the home as police
arrived and later surrendered without incident. (The
investigation into the officer-involved shooting that occurred
at the home continues as a separate investigation.)
Martinez remains
in custody in the Denver County Jail. Bond is set at
$10,000. He is scheduled to appear in Denver County Court on
Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 9:00 to be formally advised of the
charges.
