U.S. Marshals make arrest in Colorado of "violent offender" who threatened federal judge

Members of the Golden Police Department's Special Operations Unit assisted the U.S. Marshals Service in the arrest of an alleged violent offender Saturday morning. 

The combined force made the arrest near 24th Street and Illinois Street within the city limits, Golden PD stated in a press release. 

"The suspect was wanted in New York for allegedly threating a federal judge," the department stated in the release. 

A spokesperson for the department said no other information could be released since the Marshals Service was the primary agency seeking the suspect's capture. Much of the information about the suspect was not known by GPD's officers, in fact, said Sgt. Stephanie Sipes. 

Andrew Gallagher of the Marshals District of Colorado office told CBS News Colorado late Saturday that the person arrested is a resident of Colorado. He also added the arrest is not related to any case involving the former president of the United States.
