The Thornton Police Department has arrested 23-year-old Jeremy Nobles in connection with the fatal hit-and-run crash that occurred on Feb. 7 near the intersection of Thornton Parkway and Huron Street.
During the investigation, officers developed a strong lead using Flock license plate reader (LPR) technology. Information obtained through LPRs enabled investigators to partner with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to issue a Medina Alert for the suspect vehicle.
After the alert was issued, investigators made contact with the suspect by phone. The suspect provided the vehicle’s location in Northglenn and was later taken into custody. The vehicle identified through LPR technology was confirmed to be the vehicle involved in the crash. The Medina Alert was cancelled around 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 8.
Nobles was arrested on charges of careless driving causing serious bodily injury or death and failure to remain at the scene of a crash involving death. He was transported to the Adams County Jail.
This remains an active and ongoing investigation. Under Colorado law, the arrest and filing of criminal charges are merely formal accusations that an individual committed a crime. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
