An Old Snowmass resident was arrested on suspicion of felony menacing and two misdemeanor charges Monday after a dogfight on public land got out of hand, according to the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office.
Robert Guion, 72, allegedly discharged a handgun into the air after becoming upset that another man’s dog attacked his golden retriever, according to an incident report.
Guion was walking with his wife and their two golden retrievers on U.S. Forest Service land along the Roaring Fork River on a bench below Crown Mountain Park about 3:30 p.m. when they encountered another dog walker.
There are different versions about how the dogfight unfolded.
For the past 40 weeks, Aspen Skiing Co. workers have staffed a mobile food pantry in the midvalley. On Tuesday, they put in an extra effort to make sure people didn’t go hungry the week of Christmas.
Most food distribution efforts in the Roaring Fork Valley region were put on hold this week for the holidays. The Skico team volunteered to provide the food Tuesday; Food Bank of the Rockies provided packaged goods in boxes.
A steady stream of vehicles inched through the mobile pantry at Crown Mountain Park in El Jebel between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. About 350 households from Aspen to Parachute picked up food.
