Colorado man arrested, accused of false imprisonment, offering alcohol to minor, asking for sex

A 28-year-old Colorado man has been arrested on charges related to an early morning incident in Weld County, where deputies say he harassed a minor, offered her alcohol, and asked multiple times if she would have sex with him.

Weld County deputies responded to a call just after midnight on Sunday and went to the 4700 block of Grand Canyon Drive, south of Greeley. The sheriff's office says they were called to check on someone's well-being. A sheriff's office spokesperson didn't say who called, but said the caller reported that a man was trying to have sex with a minor.

Investigators didn't identify the girl and CBS News Colorado doesn't identify minors who are victims of alleged crimes, but the sheriff's office said that while the suspect never touched her, she felt like she couldn't leave the room where this was all happening.

Deputies arrested Anthony Fisher on charges of false imprisonment, second-degree contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and harassment — all misdemeanors.
