LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — A Larimer County business owner was arrested Friday for allegedly violating public health orders issued due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jonah Ricke, 32, owns a smoke shop called “One Love” that has two locations: one in Fort Collins and one in Loveland.
According to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, Ricke repeatedly failed to comply with orders demanding the temporary closure of nonessential businesses.
“Because of repeated noncompliance, the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment petitioned the Court through the Larimer County Attorney’s Office asking an order be issued to direct law enforcement to immediately take action and use any and all lawful force appropriate to ensure that One Love, Inc. and Ricke cease business operations in Larimer County,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
The health department had received multiple complaints from citizens and businesses about One Love stores remaining open.
Law enforcement contacted both One Love stores simultaneously Friday.

I notice that it’s States run by Democrats that are the most authoritarian.
Must have been selling tobacco products because dope shops are considered essential.
Imagine if a previous Colorado governor - like Dick Lamm in the 80s - had called a quarantine against AIDS infected people.
What would Jared Polis have said then?
Michigans governer, Crotchen Wit-less, just banned the sale of many things that have nothing to do with human health. Keep voting for democrats America, see what that gets you.
I asked the owner if the virus hiatus is affecting business and she said "a little bit...but we're doing work-arounds to keep everything going."
>I notice that it’s States run by Democrats that are the most authoritarian.<
Should be obvious to all.
I’ve noticed in the past week around here that fewer people are paying attention to these BS rules and engaging in ‘work- arounds’.
I guess the American spirit hasn’t been stamped out yet.
I am doing my small part and going on with my life mostly as usual.
Last night on Live PD, Richland County’s happiness patrol was on the job.
At least no one got a fine or was arrested.
Hopefully some of the fuzz sees these rules as dumb as most of us working stiffs.
I know too many brain dead morons that will happily vote and near worship a psycho like Michigan’s current goob-er-nair.
I am very proud of my name twist for her, feel free to use it. Croctchen Wit-less, dictater wannabe.
Practically Shakespearean.
“The employees present were compliant and cooperative with law enforcement. Ricke was notified by telephone that the court orders were initiated. He responded to the Loveland store against advice from law enforcement. Once at the store Ricke refused to obey lawful commands from law enforcement to not enter the business and was arrested,” the sheriff’s office said.”
“refused to obey lawful commands”
When did they pass a law?
Two overweight deputies together, go in and harass a probable minimum wage employee, about the government overlords orders.
That is were I shut off Live PD. For a couple weeks now, they've gone too far PC for me.
Either that or their county’s legal department has warned them that the county won’t protect them if the enforcers are sued for committing an unconstitutional act.
Just saw on Fox, man dragged off Philly bus for not wearing a mask.
Governor HalfWitmer is in office because the doper's got Pot on the 2018 ballet. The druggies came out in force, so the Commie Party candidates won.
Good news, one can still get an abortion in Michigan./sarc
Oh, and those new fruit trees you wanted to plant. They must cause Kung Flu, so HalfWitmer banned those too.
