MAN CHARGED IN
APARTMENT FIRE, ATTEMPTED ASSAULT
Denver District Attorney Bill
Ritter, Jr. filed multiple charges today against a man accused
of setting a fire in an acquaintance’s apartment and then trying
to run her over with a car.
Daumier McAfee (DOB: 5-24-78)
is charged with first-degree arson (F3), two counts of
second-degree arson (F4), and one count each of attempted
first-degree assault (F4) and menacing (F5). The
charges allege that on July 20, 2003, the defendant set the
victim’s apartment on fire after an argument and then fled. A
short time later, the charges further allege, McAfee confronted
the victim, put his hand on a gun in his waistband, and then got
into his car and attempted to run her over. Denver Police were
called, SWAT negotiators talked McAfee out of his apartment, and
he was taken into custody.
He has been released from the Denver
County Jail on $50,000 bond, and is scheduled to appear in
Denver County Court, room 12T, on Wednesday, August 6, 2003 at 9
a.m. to be advised of the charges.
