A District Court judge denied a request Monday to release on his own recognizance a man accused of lying in wait in an Aspen restaurant’s women’s bathroom and trying to rape a female tourist.
Public defender Ashley Andrews blamed the incident earlier this month on Robert Marlow’s alcohol use and intoxication, and asked District Judge Chris Seldin to release Marlow from jail on a personal recognizance bond. That means Marlow, 40, of Basalt would have been released from jail without posting any money while promising to show up for future court dates.
Prosecutor Don Nottingham objected to the request.
