Photo: Denver Art Museum Pepper Spray Suspect Caught On Camera
The Denver Police Department has released an image of a suspect.
DENVER (CBS4) – Police in Denver on Tuesday released a surveillance image that shows a shoplifting suspect who discharged pepper spray inside the Denver Art Museum gift shop earlier this month. The crime happened at 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 9 and the main floor of the museum’s Frederic C. Hamilton Building was temporarily evacuated for about an hour as a result. Some people, mainly staff members, were treated by paramedics.
The situation came at a time when hundreds were in line at the museum with time designated tickets for “Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature,” the popular exhibition of works by the French impressionist painter. Some of those ticketholders had to be turned away.
