Boulder police looking for aggravated robbery suspect

Boulder police have released a composite sketch of the suspect from an aggravated robbery that occurred on April 2 in the 1100 block of Canyon Boulevard.

A 22-year-old woman reported that after leaving a downtown bar at about 1:30 a.m., she was walking by herself near the creek path by the library when an unknown man came up behind her, grabbed her by the waist and demanded money.

The victim claims that she gave the suspect money from her purse, and that he then hit her in the face with a rock. The blow knocked her unconscious and she woke up near the creek, where she hid. She called friends who then contacted police.

Police responded and searched the area, but did not locate the suspect. Recently, the victim provided information for a composite sketch of the suspect, and he is described as follows:

·         White male

·         20 – 25-years-old

·         6’3” – 6’4”

·         Athletic build

·         Dark brown hair

·         No facial hair, tattoos or piercings

·         Wearing a maroon or purple hoodie that zipped, and jeans

·         “Gaudy” silver watch

The victim told investigators that she had left the bar with a male acquaintance, but that they had parted ways near the library. The victim also told police that an unknown woman walked by during the attack, but did not stop.

Police are interested in talking with the man the victim was with that night, and also with the unknown woman who may have witnessed the attack.
