Colo. jail mistakenly releases suspect wanted on weapons charge

Authorities are looking for a suspect wanted on a federal weapons charge who was released from the Adams County Jail by mistake.

The Denver Post reports that 22-year-old Isaiah Claypool was released from custody on Saturday after posting bond on warrants from Denver and Douglas County. The Adams County Sheriff’s Office says he shouldn’t have been allowed to leave without clearing the federal warrant for the weapons charge.

Senior Deputy Michael Kaiser says an investigation into Claypool’s release is ongoing.

The sheriff’s office says the suspect is likely still in the Denver area.
