Details Remain Unclear in Polling Place Disturbance in Arnold

A vocal opponent of Ward 1 Councilwoman Doris Borgelt said he witnessed her harrassing a group of campaigners outside of an Arnold polling place on Tuesday. 

Mike Evans, an Arnold resident who has publicly shared his criticism of Borgelt, said a group of teens held signs opposing Borgelt outside the polling place at the Fox C-6 Service Center on Jeffco Boulevard.

Evans said he saw Borgelt pull several of her campaign signs out of the ground before running up to the group, shaking her signs and yelling. 

Borgelt, who lost a bid for the mayoral seat, declined to be interviewed. 

Very few details could be confirmed with the Arnold Police Department on Wednesday morning.

Maj. Nick McBroom confirmed that officers responded to the polling place just after 6 p.m. on Tuesday after receiving a call about an alleged assault. 

The incident involved two people: a complaintant and the subject, McBroom said. No arrests were made. 

The report will be forwarded to the Arnold Prosecutor's Office for consideration, he said. Police couldn't comment beyond that and a timeline of what might happen next wasn't immediately available. 

More details from Evans' story is available in a previous Patch article.
