Male suspect, accused of intentionally driving a truck through a CO bar crowd, was on parole
foxnews.comA man accused of driving into a crowd outside a Colorado bar after a fight, killing one person and seriously injuring four others, was on parole from prison at the time, according to court documents released Monday and authorities.
Ruben Marquez, 29, was released from prison in May after serving nearly three years for "aggravated motor vehicle theft, attempted escape, and a weapons and drug charge," said a state Department of Corrections spokesperson, Annie Skinner.
He was required to serve a mandatory two-year parole sentence, she said. Marquez appeared by video from jail during a brief court hearing Monday to be advised of the possible charges he faces for ramming a white Silverado pickup truck into patrons and employees of the Rock Rest Lodge early Sunday in Golden, west of Denver.
