FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4)– After failing to use Colorado’s “Red Flag Law” to seize the firearm of a police officer, Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith has added Susan Holmes to the county’s most wanted list. After police shot and killed her son for charging them with a knife, Holmes attempted to claim one of the officers from Colorado State University was the father of her child.
She hoped that claim would help her use the Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) to have the officer’s gun taken away.
Holmes was warned by a judge that her potentially false claims could be used against her in future court proceedings, which is what is now happening.
“A warrant has been issued. We have been unsuccessful at apprehending her,” Smith told CBS4’s Dillon Thomas.
