SON CHARGED IN
THANKSGIVING ASSAULT ON MOM
Denver District
Attorney Bill Ritter, Jr. has formally charged a Denver man in
connection with the attempted murder of his 65-year-old mother last week.
Ronald Herrera (DOB:
8-15-55) is charged with attempted first-degree murder (F2) and
attempted first-degree assault (F3).
The charges allege
that Herrera had been drinking at his mother’s home in the 1900
block of Arapahoe Street on Thanksgiving Day when she called the
police to have him removed. The charges further allege that he
got angry, grabbed his mother, and tried to throw her from a
fourth-floor balcony. When Denver police officers arrived, they
found the woman hanging over the edge of the balcony and were
able to pull her to safety.
Herrera will appear
in Denver County Court, room 12T, on Wednesday, December 3, 2003
at 9:00 a.m. to be advised of the charges. He remains in
custody in the Denver County Jail. His bond was set at $50,000.
