Colo. police seek leaping leprechaun after witnesses report costumed man jumping between cars

Police seek mischief maker dressed as leprechaun

BOULDER, Colo. — Police responding to reports of a man leaping between cars in a Colorado supermarket parking lot didn’t need a detailed description of the suspect. Boulder Police Sgt. Fred Gerhardt said witnesses on Wednesday reported a man was dressed as a leprechaun and pretending to shoot at people with his fingers.

Witnesses told police the man may have made obscene gestures.

Gerhardt said they likely called police because the man “was acting bizarre.”

Officers did not find anyone matching the description of the leprechaun.

Gerhardt said this is the first time Boulder police have received a complaint about a leprechaun.
