Man Who Threatened Horses Jailed In Separate Case
GREELEY, Colo. (AP) – A Weld County man who threatened to kill 24 horses has been jailed because his bond was withdrawn in an unrelated case.
Sixty-four-year-old Trenton H. Parker threatened to shoot the horses to protest a 90-day jail sentence stemming from an alleged zoning violation.
On Wednesday, Greeley bail bond agent Alda Pauline withdrew Parker’s $20,000 bond in an assault case. Pauline told the Greeley Tribune Parker’s threat against the horses convinced her he might be a flight risk.
Parker is charged with injuring a co-worker in March in a dispute over Parker’s dog.
In the other case, authorities say Parker was found in contempt of court for not removing mobile homes from around his home.
Authorities say the mobile homes violated zoning ordinances.
