25 Years Ago

Lake Pueblo State Park suffered significant damage from a storm that struck the region overnight, prompting Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials on Friday to ask the public to stay away as damage is assessed and cleanup begins.

The most severe impact was reported at the Northshore Marina where docks were overturned and smashed. At least one private boat was sunk and others damaged.

In addition, Lathrop State Park near Walsenburg in Huerfano County was closed Friday due to downed power lines and wind damage. By afternoon the park had reopened but power remained out.

IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER:

By Chris Sorensen

A storm system moving across the state Friday brought rain to Kiowa County and blizzard conditions to Lincoln, Elbert and Douglas Counties. Rain and snow potential remains in the forecast for the weekend and throughout the coming week as a series of Pacific disturbances enter the state.

An arrest has been made in the 2010 murder of Ronnie Griego in Otero County.

Julian Pena-Morales, 39, was arrested in Ipswich, South Dakota Thursday by the Edmunds County Sheriff’s Office on suspicion of murdering Griego. Griego is believed to have been killed July 16, 2010. His body was found near a farm outside of Swink two days later.

Pena-Morales fled the state a short time later, and he remained on the run until he was discovered living under an assumed name in Ipswich.
