Measles exposure possible at Arvada bar prompts health alert

Colorado health officials warn of a possible measles exposure at Bout Time Pub & Grub in Arvada on March 10 from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.; two local measles cases linked to a household contact have been confirmed, with a third under investigation, and quarantines tied to vaccination status. Because the post-exposure vaccination window has passed, those who are unvaccinated or unsure of their status should seek vaccination and monitor for symptoms (fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, rash) through April 1, seeking medical care and calling ahead before arrival to prevent further spread.

Lawsuit Filed by Family of Pregnant Woman Killed by Arvada Officer

The family of Destinee Thompson, a pregnant woman who was shot and killed by an Arvada police officer in August 2021, has filed a wrongful death and excessive force lawsuit against five officers. Thompson, who was not the robbery suspect the police were looking for, was shot as she drove away from the scene. The family's attorney argues that the officer violated department policy by shooting into a moving vehicle. The officer claimed he fired because he believed Thompson might have struck and run over an undercover officer, but it was later determined that the officer was unharmed. The district attorney declined to charge the officer. Thompson had drugs in her system and a warrant out for her arrest at the time of the incident.
