Colorado man guilty in second case of threatening law enforcement
A Norwood man was recently convicted of making threats against Western Slope public officials in the second federal case against him for such offenses.
Bryan Cornwell, 41, was found guilty on two counts of transmitting threats on Jan. 23. The Durango federal jury found him not guilty on a third count. He will be sentenced April 2.
Federal prosecutors accused Cornwell of sending messages to a law enforcement official which included threats to injure and kill the official.
“As God is my witness you are going to suffer in agony slowly begging for death like you deserve,” stated one of the messages as recounted in the grand jury indictment against Cornwell.
“I’m going to crush you,” stated another. “You’re an example of what’s wrong with the world and I’m going to see your lights extinguished! You don’t deserve the air you breathe.”
Cornwell allegedly sent more than 80 profanity-laced diatribes to the official in less than three months.
When he sent the messages between August and October 2023, Cornwell was on conditional release from prison and awaiting trial in an earlier federal case. That case began in February 2022 when federal investigators questioned Cornwell about his girlfriend’s fatal fentanyl overdose.
Cornwell was terminated from his position with Telluride Ski Patrol less than a week later. He performed avalanche control with explosives but failed a drug test, per case documents.
Three months after his girlfriend’s death, Cornwell lashed out against U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation personnel located in Grand Junction. Cornwell texted an investigator that he was “done” and intended to blow up the FBI’s office in Grand Junction and two businesses, including the restaurant where his late girlfriend was previously employed.
“I’ve got 800lbs ready to go,” the text stated, according to case documents.
A warrant for Cornwell’s arrest was issued that same day.
After his arrest, Cornwell was granted conditional release in September 2022.
The emailed threats making up his second case, likely made against someone involved with that first case, began 11 months later.
Cornwell was then arrested again by a combination of federal, state and county law officers.
The first case concluded last December with Cornwell’s guilty plea to a single count of making threats involving explosives. The judge sentenced Cornwell to time already served in prison awaiting the outcome of the case. But Cornwell was not released due to the second case.
Per federal sentencing guidelines, Cornwell could receive a five-year prison sentence for each of the two counts in the second case. The judge, however, can add to the sentence based on aggravating circumstances. Severity and specificity of the threats, and criminal history of the defendant, are two factors taken into consideration.
The Colorado Buffaloes and coach Deion Sanders hosted one of the top offensive linemen from the state of Maryland on a recruiting visit on Thursday.
Three-star interior offensive line prospect Jaiden Lindsay spent two days in Boulder on an unofficial visit, just a few months removed from landing a scholarship offer from the Buffs.
Offensive Lineman Jaiden Lindsay’s Rise
Lindsay is listed as a three-star recruit by 247Sports in the class of 2027. His play at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Olney, Maryland, has earned him the No. 22 prospect ranking in the state according to 247Sports, which also lists him as the No. 56 interior offensive lineman in the class and the No. 900 overall recruit.
The current high school junior stands 6-3 and weighs in at an impressive 275 pounds. With plenty of time for development, a frame like that has certainly caught the attention of many Power Four programs.
He has offers from 14 FBS programs, with some key names being the reigning national champion Indiana Hoosiers, the Penn State Nittany Lions, Kentucky Wildcats, West Virginia Mountaineers and Pittsburgh Panthers.
But Colorado’s primary competition will come from Lindsay’s hometown school. The Maryland Terrapins are currently listed as his first choice, as they are also the only team 247Sports has given an interest level of warm to at this stage of the recruiting process.
Colorado is currently listed second on his interest list, and is the only other program Lindsay has scheduled an official visit to.
How Jaiden Lindsay Would Benefit the Colorado Buffaloes
Colorado is in a rebuilding period with its offensive line. While sophomore guard Yahya Attia seems to be the future of the interior offensive line for the Buffaloes as it currently stands, the Buffs will be looking to build around him and sure up their future for when he’s gone as well.
Lindsay is a prospect flying under the radar at the moment, preventing Colorado from having to engage in a long-term, neck-and-neck battle with many other high-profile programs and lots of NIL money involved. But he still has all the physicals and the flashes on film of a player who, while he may be a project, could pan out at the next level.
He has one more season of high school to develop, and with the right training program under offensive line coach Gunnar White and the Colorado staff, he could see his full potential realized in Boulder.
What’s Next in Jaiden Lindsay’s Recruitment
All of this leads up to June 2026. In the span of that month, Lindsay is set to visit both Colorado (on June 5) and Maryland (on June 19). Those two official visits will be crucial in determining the last legs of his recruitment process.
The key thing to note about how the visits are staggered: Colorado gets to make the first impression. Depending on how his visit with Colorado goes, Coach Prime and the Buffaloes could force Maryland to fight an uphill battle during his visit on the 19th if his mind is at all made up by then. So Buffs fans should pay close attention when the mid-summer rolls around.

Thousands of candy-filled Easter eggs rained down on a waiting crowd of patient but eager children at a Colorado church community’s second annual Helicopter Egg Drop.
A charitable crew aboard a helicopter released 6,000 plastic eggs over the yard at Zeal City Church in Windsor, Colorado, early Easter Sunday morning for the parish’s egg hunt.
The copter came back and released even more colorful eggs for a second hunt during a later Easter service that day, CBS Colorado reported.
Lead Pastor Jeremy Cleveland told the outlet that the aerial egg drop is their unique way of “celebrating Jesus at Zeal City Church.”
“We’re celebrating Easter Sunday, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and we really wanted to bless our community and not just give them a sermon, but something to make them memories with their families and friends,” Cleveland said.
Cleveland highlighted the event’s rousing success, noting that it drew hundreds of families to the Sunday service.
“The kids are enjoying it, loving it. Parents are having a great time. It’s been awesome,” Cleveland’s wife, Brittany, told the outlet.
The Clevelands hope to carry on the burgeoning tradition for many more years to come.
Another local egg drop in 2024 saw a chopper dump 5,000 eggs over a park in Colorado Springs, Fox 21 reported.
The Compass Church in Salinas, California, also hosted its own drop where a helicopter poured 100,000 eggs over the grounds.
