Weld County Authorities Seek Public Help in Identifying Parachutist Who Jumped from TV Tower
WELD COUNTY, Colo. — The Weld County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) is appealing to the community for assistance in identifying a man who allegedly jumped off a television tower on Wednesday, located just outside Frederick. The incident has raised alarms, with officials labeling the act as "incredibly dangerous" and an instance of trespassing.
According to WCSO reports, the parachuting enthusiast lost his camera during the jump, which was capturing footage of the daring act. This not only presented the potential of severe injury or worse but also illegal activity as the individual did not have permission to access the tower.
The sheriff’s office is taking this incident seriously, emphasizing the need for public safety and cooperation. They are urging anyone who may have information regarding the man’s identity to come forward. Members of the community can contact the WCSO directly at 970-350-9600, or provide tips anonymously via the WCSO tip line at 970-304-6464. Additional information can be sent via email to Crimetips@weld.gov.
As investigations continue, WCSO is working to ensure that such dangerous and illegal activities are addressed to maintain public safety and uphold the law. The incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with unauthorized stunts and the importance of reporting suspicious activities.
This request for help underscores the Weld County Sheriff’s commitment to involving the community in ensuring a safer environment for all residents.
