Date Ends with $300,000 in Art Damage 

Damaging someone else’s property in Greeley or Weld County will likely result in Criminal Mischief charges. A woman was recently arrested for this crime after damaging her date’s art collection. According to the report, the woman was drunk on their first date and refused to leave the man’s home. She became aggressive, ripping down several paintings off the wall and pouring red wine on them. She is also accused of throwing $20,000 sculptures and shattering them. The damage was estimated to be at least $300,000. I doubt he’ll be calling her and asking her out on a second date.
