On Friday, Sear and Garrigus were on their way to a new jewelry store on Cooper Avenue to connect with the owner and management team to provide them with a COVID-19 business toolkit packet, which has all the relevant information about safety plans, public health protocols and capacity limits under the state’s Red level restrictions, which started Sunday in Pitkin County.

James Hogue, 61, was arrested Monday by Aspen police officers investigating a burglary and charged with parking illegally and stealing power from a nearby apartment building, said APD Sgt. Mike Tracey. Hogue was not taken to jail and, instead, issued a summons for trespassing and tampering, which are low-level offenses.
Aspen police continue to investigate the burglary, which took place inside the parking garage of an apartment building in the 200 block of East Cooper Avenue, Tracey said.
