THORNTON, Colo. (KDVR) -- A Thornton man has been arrested for allegedly violating a protection order that mandated he stay 15 feet away from the mayor.Dariush Namazi told the Problem Solvers he was taken into custody on Thursday at a Ward 4 Ice Cream Social at the Fallbrook Farms Park. Thornton Mayor Jan Kulman was in attendance, as was Namazi. Kulman was granted the protection order on July 18 after she showed an Adams County magistrate judge a body camera video that she said showed Namazi invading her personal space and making her feel concerned for her safety. As FOX31 previously reported, Namazi has taken on the character of Danny Kulmann, a former President Trump-loving MAGA supporter who dresses up in a red t-shirt with a picture of Thornton's mayor on his chest and a MAGA baseball cap. Thornton mayor granted permanent protection order Namazi said his aim was to engage in political parody to show the mayor as an extreme right-wing Republican, something she has told the Prob...

A search continued Monday for a New Hampshire woman and her young daughter after the pair were reportedly kidnapped in Haiti.El Roi Haiti, a faith-based humanitarian organization in Haiti, said Alix Dorsainvil was abducted on Thursday with her child. Dorsainvil is married to the director of El Roi Haiti, which has asked for the world’s prayers following this incident. In Middleton, New Hampshire, where Dorsainvil grew up, the pastor at the town’s church said they are praying for the Dorsainvil family. “We have a direct line to the lord, everybody does,” said Rev. Dave Scott of the Middleton Gospel Chapel. “You can pray directly and we did.”Haiti has been a violent place for many years. The assassination of the nation’s president two years ago, though, created a power vacuum. Now, violent gangs are vying for power. While it is believed that one of the gangs abducted Dorsainvil and her child to get ransom money, there had been no reports of a demand for cash as of Monda...

The dominoes are falling for the Mets ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline with Mark Canha being the latest to fall.The Mets traded the outfielder to the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday afternoon, the team announced. The Brewers sent right-handed starter Justin Jarvis in return, a 23-year-old pitcher who was selected in the fifth round of the 2018 draft.Jarvis is 6-6 with a 4.33 ERA in 17 starts between Double-A and Triple-A this season.The club is using this trade deadline to get younger and deepen their farm system at several levels. The Mets haven’t developed any frontline starters in recent years and don’t have many top pitching prospects at the higher levels of the system. Jarvis, the 30th-ranked prospect in the Brewers’ system, gives them one.Jarvis was recently promoted to Triple-A and struggled in his first few starts, but some talent evaluators tend to think of this as a positive. The thinking is that adversity at a higher level will make them better in the...
