Aurora men take Denver Diner parking spot with pistols drawn

[Ridge]

Two Aurora men are facing felony charges that allege they used gunfire to get a parking spot at the Denver Diner last month.

Court documents state a 31-year-old woman was standing in a parking spot at the dining spot at West Colfax Avenue and Speer Boulevard about 2 a.m. on April 15 when three men drove up in a black Mercedes.

She told them she was holding it for her mother-in-law, and two of the three men got angry, and then both pulled out pistols and pointed them at her, according to the police account.

Idus Marshall, 26, then allegedly squeezed off a shot at the woman that "narrowly missed" her and hit the restaurant's wall behind her, according to police affadavit.

Then she moved, and the three men took the parking spot, got out and went inside the restaurant, the woman told police.

The driver, Lamar Robertson, 27, faces a charge of felony menacing, and Marshall is charged with attempted murder, attempted first-degree assault, felony menacing, discharge of a firearm and a crime of violence.

Police impounded the Mercedes and found a spent shellcasing in the parking lot, a scar on the restaurant wall and two pistols, including one on the floorboard of Mercedes "in plain view," and about 40 rounds of ammunition, according to the police affidavit.

Court records indicate neither man has a serious court record.

WTF... Hoodrats. Shame somebody did not unload on the asshats and close the case on the spot. Of course making sure they were shooting in a safe direction and would have no collateral damage.

Who 'holds' a parking spot..

Rather than shoot at her, and such.. take the damn spot.

I bet she never 'holds' a spot again.
