Tourists stole historic artifacts after jumping fence at national park: authorities
Two Coloradans face criminal charges after allegedly trespassing at a historic cowboy camp at Canyonlands National Park in Utah and stealing artifacts.
Durango, Colorado, residents Roxanne McKnight, 39, and Dusty Spencer, 43, allegedly “entered a fenced-off area” of the park “where they then handled and stole numerous historic artifacts preserved in the Cave Springs Cowboy Camp” on March 23, the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the District of Utah wrote in a Nov. 4 press release.
Both are charged with theft of government property worth less than $1,000, possessing or distributing cultural or archaeological resources, and walking on or entering an archaeological or cultural resource, authorities said.
They are scheduled to appear before Chief U.S. Magistrate Judge Dustin B. Pead at the United States District Court in Moab, on Nov. 8.

“This historic camp was protected by fencing and clear warnings prohibiting visitors from entering the area, which McKnight and Spencer disregarded,” authorities added in the release. Court documents say the area is protected by a log fence.
The alleged thieves disregarded clear “no trespassing” signs around the site, which houses artifacts from camps of pioneer cattle ranchers between the late 1800s and 1975, the attorney’s office said.
The camp also showcases ancient rock carvings made by indigenous tribes about 6,000 years ago, according to the park’s website.

Among the objects allegedly taken by the couple were antique nails, according to court records.
In May, Canyonlands National Park distributed photos of the pair that were taken on trail cameras.

“In a video recorded at the archaeological site, the individuals entered a signed-as-closed area, removed artifacts from a cabinet, and handled historic harnesses in a manner that had potential to damage them,” park officials said.

Following the 2026 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos announced jersey numbers for their draft class. More numbers are still to be announced, and those selections could arrive ahead of organized team activities (OTAs) in June.
Players won’t be allowed to choose from six numbers — three numbers are officially retired, and three others are rarely (if ever) given to a new player.
The Broncos retired No. 7 for legendary quarterback John Elway, and No. 44 was retired for Hall of Fame running back Floyd Little. Denver also retired No. 18 for Frank Tripucka, the first QB in franchise history, but he gave Peyton Manning permission to wear the number from 2012-2015.
Three numbers are also held back by the team’s equipment staff — Champ Bailey’s No. 24, Von Miller’s No. 58 and the late Demarius Thomas’ No. 88. Bailey gave Adam Jones his blessing to wear No. 24 in 2018, but it hasn’t been worn by any other player besides Jones since Bailey’s retirement.
Former tight end Nick Vannett wore No. 88 in 2020, but no other players have worn that number in Denver following Thomas’ death in 2021. The Broncos also have not given out No. 58 since Miller was traded in 2021. Miller wore that number in Denver from 2011-’21.
Clearly, these six numbers have special meaning in Broncos Country.
7: Officially retired (John Elway)
18: Officially retired (Frank Tripucka, nod to Peyton Manning)
24: Not made available (Champ Bailey)
44: Officially retired (Floyd Little)
58: Not made available (Von Miller)
88: Not made available (Demaryius Thomas)

Gunfire outside Capitol Hill nightclub leaves 3 men shot, Seattle Police searching for suspects – MyNorthwest.com
Three men were shot outside the Cultura nightclub early Monday morning in Capitol Hill, with one victim in critical condition.
At approximately 1:10 a.m., the Seattle Police Department (SPD) responded to reports of a shooting in the 900 block of E. Pike Street, SPD announced.
As officers arrived, they found three men suffering from gunshot wounds. Officers administered medical aid until the Seattle Fire Department (SFD) arrived.
SFD later transported all three victims to Harborview Medical Center, with two in serious condition and the other in critical condition.
Altercation with security leads to Capitol Hill nightclub shooting
The shooting followed an altercation involving three men and the nightclub security. The men were reportedly leaving the scene when at least one suspect pulled out a handgun and fired multiple shots towards the club, which struck the three victims.
SPD noted that investigators are searching for two to three suspects who are believed to have a connection to the shooting, though no suspect descriptions have been released, according to KING 5.
The SPD Gun Violence Reduction Unit is currently investigating the events preceding the shooting.
Traffic was temporarily blocked by emergency vehicles on E. Pike Street, between Broadway and 10th Avenue, as Seattle Police and Seattle Fire were on the scene. The roadway was eventually opened up for traffic.
Anyone with information is asked to call the SPD Violent Crimes Tip Line at (206) 233-5000.
