GARFIELD COUNTY, Colo. - The former Palisade teacher wanted for sexual assault on a child has been apprehended.

Why do we even spend the time on these types of criminals. Put a bullet in his head and be done with it. The child is damaged for life and he will get free meals, medical care and a place to live for the rest of his life. Sad
