Wait. It gets better. From the Rocky Mountain News' version of the story (titled "Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to toke we go", which I guessed would get moved to chat on title alone) comes this:
As if Boulder isn't odd enough already, now it has bridge trolls.
Two men recently attempted to charge people a dollar to cross a bridge in a park near the intersection of Foothills Highway and Colorado Avenue and allegedly threatened to stab an off-duty sheriff's deputy with a broken golf club after he refused to pay.
Witnesses said they heard the two shouting lines from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail about how people "shall not pass."
Just a bit of humor for the morning.

We have our own ways of dealing with such.

Oh my, a report of REAL trolls.
Where are all the slapping pics? They need a workout on this one...

Trip, trap, trip, trap.
Sounds like the troll was doing a little more tripping than trapping.

All they needed to do is send the biggest 3rd goat across. I thought that was the traditional remedy for a bridge troll.

This is really the prototypical Boulder story. Sort of the Ur tale of the People's Republic.
First, the two zone out on some drug. Then they exhibit the kind of intellectual prowess for which Boulder is known by failing to provide themselves with ordinary fire. Then they try their crude entrepreneurial skills on a cop on a bike path. With a broken golf club.
Yep. That's Boulder.

It was sort of creative and it sounds like they didn't actually hurt anyone or damage any property. Still, they're in heaps of trouble, and it would have been a whole lot easier if they'd simply gone to the bridge and flagged people down and asked for a light. I suppose they realize that now that their hallucinogens have worn off.

A troll, you say?

Back in the early '70's, when I attended CU in Boulder, there was a group of speed addicts called the "STP Family", who wrought all sorts of havoc. This sounds like their work. Anyone know if they are still around?

Just to add more to this story, a coworker sent me this link

And it gets better;
The strangest part of the reports, however, noted that a large joint found in Boville's front pocket appeared to be rolled out of two one-dollar bills.
