Barry Morphew taken into custody in Boulder on pending Alamosa warrant

Barry Morphew was booked into the Boulder County Jail on Thursday night after authorities arrested him on an outstanding warrant from Alamosa County.

A custody log shows that Barry Morphew was arrested around 9:11 p.m. on September 3 and entered into the Boulder County Jail by 11:11 p.m. The Boulder County Sheriff's Office confirmed the arrest was based on an outstanding warrant from Alamosa County for failure to comply with court orders. Morphew is currently awaiting trial in Alamosa County, where he had been released on bond pending the case. The arrest comes days after a Denver hit-and-run investigation that prompted concerns he may have breached the strict home-confinement conditions imposed by a judge.

Prosecutors, after reviewing video, assert that Morphew is clearly visible as the driver responsible for the hit-and-run. A bond hearing for the Alamosa County matter is scheduled for September 8, and law enforcement has been contacted for further details about the recent arrest.

Why it matters

The arrest highlights ongoing legal scrutiny of Morphew's compliance with court-ordered restrictions and pending criminal charges.
