Man Arrested After Incident at KKCO/KJCT News Station
A 39-year-old man has been taken into custody following a disturbing altercation involving a KKCO/KJCT news station employee. The incident unfolded in Grand Junction and led to swift action by local authorities.
Altercation Escalates Near News Station
The Grand Junction Police Department reported that Patrick Egan confronted the driver of a vehicle in the vicinity of Highway 6 & 50 and 25 Road. The confrontation escalated when Egan followed the driver to the 2500 block of Blichmann Avenue.
Witness accounts state that Egan tackled and choked the victim before bystanders intervened. Their quick response restrained Egan until officers arrived at the scene.
The victim, who works for the KKCO/KJCT news station, did not sustain serious injuries, according to initial reports.
Former Sunshine Rides Driver
Egan was operating a vehicle for Sunshine Rides, a local taxi service, at the time of the incident. Following the altercation, the company took immediate action.
Kelly Millan, owner of Sunshine Rides, issued a public statement condemning the behavior. “This type of behavior has no place in our society and I strongly condemn it,” Millan said. “I deeply regret the harm and disruption this has caused the victim, his family, and co-workers.”
Egan has been terminated from his position, and Sunshine Rides is cooperating fully with law enforcement investigations. The company also plans to reinforce its values and expectations with all employees.
Facing Serious Charges
Egan now faces multiple charges, including bias-motivated crimes, second-degree assault, and harassment.
Grand Junction authorities have not yet released further details on the motive or circumstances surrounding the incident, but investigations are ongoing.
