Prosecutors slated to formally file
charges on Friday
The Boulder police officer arrested
last week on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder made his first
appearance in a Boulder courtroom today, less than a week after being charged
with two counts of felony stalking in Broomfield in connection with the same
case.
Christian McCracken, 32, of Frederick, appeared in court this afternoon at the Boulder County Jail for an advisement hearing in the case against him. He was arrested by Broomfield police April 28 on allegations the 5-year veteran of the Boulder Police Department stalked and harassed his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend, both Boulder police dispatchers.
On Thursday, Boulder police arrested McCracken on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder after investigators said they came to believe he "may have planned and taken a significant step toward committing a homicide against the new boyfriend."

Boulder prosecutors are scheduled to

in the Boulder case remains $500,000. He also is being held at the Broomfield
County Jail on $100,000 bond. He is next scheduled to appear in court in
Broomfield for a preliminary hearing on May 24.
