DENVER, CO (KCNC) – A CBS4 Investigation has learned that an arrest has been made in the brutal stabbing last summer of David Blackett, 45, a former prosecutor and current judge in Adams County. Blackett was repeatedly stabbed at his home in Denver’s Hale Neighborhood near 12th Avenue and Dexter Street.
The assailant got away and was not immediately caught following the August 2019 incident. Blackett nearly died from the multiple stab wounds he received in the attack.
Now, five months later, court records indicate police have arrested a 38-year-old Jose Armenta-Vazquez, a transient, who is being held on charges of attempted murder after deliberation, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary and use of a weapon in a violent crime. Records show the suspect was arrested by Wheat Ridge police Dec. 16, 2019 and is being held in the Jefferson County Jail.
Although Armenta-Vazquez was jailed in mid-December 2019, he was only charged in the Blackett case on Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2020. It is unclear what led to the attempted murder arrest.
A spokesman for the Denver Police department said he was aware of the developments but referred questions to the Denver District Attorney’s office. The police department spokesperson said no photos of the suspect would be released as more lineups were anticipated in the case.
*Armenta-Vazquez was arrested by Lakewood police arrested on multiple charges on Dec. 11, but was released. Then on Dec. 16, he was again arrested on burglary and assault charges at the Best Interstate Inn Motel in Wheat Ridge.
The illegal alien has a long arrest record in and around Denver. In fact, he has been arrested 36 times in the past 20 years, while using has at least two dozen aliases, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
The arrests include numerous traffic violations, several violent assaults and even child abuse.
Of course, Denver is an official ‘sanctuary city,’ and, as such, protects criminal aliens from deportation, as does the entire state of Colorado.
Does not surprise me at all.
What kind of slanderous, racist verbiage is that?
/sarc
Progress. Now if we can get the illegals to assault socialist politicians.
Deportation and a closed border is our friend.
Get them outta here.
Sorry to say this, but I hope this changes something. I can’t really say more than that and remain in polite society.
Sanctuary city?
Chickens coming home for roost?
Who caused this warm and welcome piece of Mexican garbage to act like a filthy murderous piece of Mexican gargbage?
ICE'S FAULT.
/shrug
Disgusting.
Perhaps these terms can be used.
"Tis but a scratch" , "had worse" and "It's just a flesh wound”

Screw that! I demand he be released without bail is he promises pretty please to show up in a year for trial.
*if he promises
Is David Blackett a constitutional judge or a Democrat?
Denver is a Sanctuary City, put me on the Jury and I will vote NOT GUILTY!!!
Well, maybe now that one of THEM is the victim, they will understand what the rest of us unwashed live like and actually do something about the situation.
I wonder how many illegal alien invaders this judge has released on their own recognizance because the city is a worthless, illegal “sanctuary” city? How many other Citizens have suffered because of this LIB/leftist lunacy?
Should Citizens care if a Public Employee or Judicial Officer suffers and injury or loss at the hands of a Foreign National, that has been Granted a Special Privilege to BREAK THE LAW?????
NO!
Actually we need to Reinforce the Sanctuary Status instead by removing ALL Criminal Penalties if the victim is a Public Employee or Officer of the Court.
NO Foreign National shall be put in jeopardy for causing an Injury or Loss to ANY Public Employee, Public Servant or Officer of the Court.
THEY DESERVE WHATEVER HAPPENS TO THEM!!!
Why has the Judge not been reached for comment?
Did Chickenpooper hire this illegal for his restaurant? One he did KILLED a Denver Police officer.
