A judge once again ruled to maintain an especially high bond for an alleged EagleVail drug dealer after the prosecution said the man has continued to show alarming behavior from the Eagle County jail.
An Aurora man has been charged with felony assault and domestic violence after he allegedly choked his then-girlfriend in Minturn.
Jamie Quintana will appear in Eagle County court next week on charges of assault by strangulation, a class 4 felony, and misdemeanor domestic violence, according to prosecuting documents.
Quintana’s charges are from the rainy night of June 23 into the early morning hours of June 24, when he and his girlfriend were staying at the Christie Lodge in Avon after she was recently released from prison, according to police reports from that night.
They were driving near Dowd Junction on the night of June 23 when Quintana became upset with the girlfriend, accusing her of mocking him, she told police in the report. The girlfriend then tried to get out of the car at the intersection of Highway 24 and Country Road P14, but she said Quintana grabbed her hair to keep her from leaving. She eventually got out of the car and started walking towards Minturn.
