News in Brief

A Carbondale resident killed in a single-car accident between Carbondale and Redstone early Saturday had marijuana and alcohol in her system, the Pitkin County coroner said.

Paula Bowman, 23, died at the scene. Her 1996 Toyota Camry rolled three times after she missed a right-hand turn on Highway 133. Bowman was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected. She suffered a head injury and other trauma, a press release from the coroner’s office said.



The son of Aspen Music Festival and School CEO Don Roth was arrested early Sunday morning for allegedly stumbling into an Aspen woman’s home.

Daniel Roth, 19, was arrested around 4:30 a.m. Sunday by Aspen Police officers after a call was made reporting a drunken person at 257 Original St.




Roth was found by police near the building and identified by a 59-year-old woman, who said Roth had entered her apartment. The woman, who is currently recovering from knee surgery, had left her door unlocked, according to Aspen Patrol Sgt. Steve Smith.

Roth, who has a prior DUI conviction, was allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time. He was charged with first degree criminal trespass, a felony, and the misdemeanor charge of a minor in possession of alcohol.

Roth became violent when apprehended and had to be placed in a restraining chair, according to Smith. A jailer who was allegedly kicked by Roth decided not to press charges, Smith said.

“He was walking around town showing the typical manifestations of a drunk. The first thing to go is your judgment,” Smith said.
