Amazon Driver Arrested Following Assault at Lakewood Dental Office
A Lakewood, Colorado, delivery driver has been taken into custody following a disturbing incident at a local dentist’s office on Monday, involving allegations of sexual assault and multiple attacks on staff. The suspect, identified as 31-year-old Michael Coleman of Denver, was apprehended after employees and victims restrained him at the scene.
The Lakewood Police Department (LPD) responded to a call at Emerald Dental on West Almeda Parkway around 3:08 p.m. regarding an assault in progress. Upon arrival, officers discovered that Coleman, employed as an Amazon delivery driver, had allegedly attempted to sexually assault an employee while making a delivery.
According to police reports, the situation quickly escalated beyond the initial alleged assault. Witnesses reported that Coleman subsequently attacked several other employees of the dental practice, resulting in serious bodily injury to at least one victim.
“Employees and victims were holding down the suspect when officers arrived,” a senior official stated.
Coleman is currently being held at the Jefferson County Jail facing a multitude of charges. These include suspicion of sexual assault, unlawful contact, second-degree assault, third-degree assault, two counts of criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, and harassment. The breadth of the charges underscores the severity of the alleged offenses and the potential danger posed to the dental office staff.
The incident raises concerns about the safety of service workers and the potential for violence during routine deliveries. While details surrounding the motive remain unclear, authorities are continuing their investigation to fully understand the circumstances leading to the assault.
