Arrest warrants were issued Tuesday for a Lakewood man accused of multiple vehicular thefts after he failed to appear for an Eagle County court appearance.
Ulices Venzor, 28, was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday afternoon on his most recent charges of vehicular theft, driving under the influence, failure to report an accident and reckless driving after he crashed a stolen car on Vail Pass last month.
Judge Rachel Olguin-Fresquez waited with attorneys Tuesday afternoon but Venzor did not show and they said it was not the first time that he has skipped out on a court appearance.
Olguin-Fresquez issued warrants for his arrest and acknowledged the possibility that, given Venzor’s criminal history, he could have been picked up on a warrant in another county, causing him to miss the court date.

“Over the last seven years, communities and police departments have struggled over the difficult questions central to police reform efforts when it is appropriate to use force, how should officers and agencies be held accountable, what should the community’s role be in police policy and oversight, and what roles must other agencies play in public safety,” th
