A notorious con man and lifelong thief caught four years ago living in a well-appointed cabin he built on Aspen Mountain is back in town and back in trouble.
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.
