Clifton Road Closed For Short Time, One Arrested

One Suspect Arrested On Warrant, Road Closed

Mesa County, Colo. -- Joshua B. Giron, 32, formerly of Palisade (currently homeless), was arrested on an outstanding warrant with a $500 cash only bond, yesterday at 3250 Collyer Avenue, Clifton. Patrol deputies conducted further investigation and ultimately charged Joshua with aggravated robbery, crimes against an at-risk adult, theft and possession of a weapon by a previous offender, in connection to an armed robbery. That armed robbery was reported about 1:45 p.m., yesterday, in the area of 32 1/8 and E Roads, Clifton. The victim reported a single male driving a white passenger car pointed a handgun at him and leaving the scene with a single pack of cigarettes and two dollars in cash from the victim.

Deputies were dispatched to a possible weapon offense at 3:40 p.m., in the Clifton area, with the suspect description similar to the earlier robbery incident. Ultimately, deputies located the suspect vehicle and an adult male matching the description of the suspect at the Collyer address, at about 4:30 p.m. Joshua was arrested without incident by deputies.

Joshua was charged with regard to the first incident and booked into the Mesa County Detention Facility on the charges along with the warrant. Joshua will be formally advised in court this afternoon, where he will also be given a bond for the new charges. Inmate information, including updated bond details for any inmate currently in our Facility, can be obtained online at our Inmate Inquiry webpage.
