Arnold Police Respond to Sign Fiasco at Polling Place

A disturbance broke out around 6:30 p.m. between a group of teens holding signs opposing Mayoral Candidate Doris Borgelt and the candidate herself. It happened at the Fox C-6 Service Center on Jeffco Boulevard.

Mike Evans said he witnessed the incident unfold. He told Patch Borgelt ripped several of her campaign signs out of the ground, ran up to the group and began shaking her signs at them and yelling.

"I was worried about the safety of the kids because they were right at the corner of Jeffco Boulevard and the entrance to the center," Evans said. "I just felt bad that she was harassing them."

Anthony Burgio, the owner of We Buy Gold in Arnold, said one of the teens called him to come help with the incident. Burgio claims Borgelt has harassed him and damaged his business. He is threatening to sue Arnold unless the city pays him a $75,000 settlement.

"I got there at the very end of it," Burgio said. "There were two or three police cars there. One of the kids filed a report against her."

Borgelt declined a phone interview.

Arnold Police Chief Bob Shockey told Patch he had no information on the incident.

Patch will update this story as more information becomes available.
