Judge dismisses obstruction claim in juvenile case
Judge Paul Klepper granted March 14 motion to dismiss the obstruction charge, ruling that calling the girl’s statements mere words did not show specific affirmative conduct and that case law requires more for aiding a felony. A second 2009-born girl faces felony obstruction and interference charges with a May 22 motions hearing. The 2005 and 2007 born girls each pled to obstruction charges, with six months probation and gang‑related restrictions.

Collins Collins surrenders on warrants in three cases
Collins Collins turned himself in in early April in Jefferson County after December 2023–January 2024 police pursuit.

He faces one misdemeanor count of interference with law enforcement and a probation violation tied to a 2021 firearm discharge conviction, with a potential 12 month prison term if probation is revoked. Information on his location can be given to nonemergency dispatch or Crime Stoppers.
