2 Cited For Trespass At Democratic Convention

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) ― Colorado Springs police say two men were cited after they tried to enter the state Democratic Party's convention without proper credentials.

Police Lt. Skip Arms said the men refused to leave the area Saturday and return to a public site where credentials aren't necessary. Each was cited for trespassing which is a petty offense and released.

The men were identified as Eric Verlo, 46, and Peter Froese, 58, both of Colorado Springs.

An estimated 10,000 people are gathering at the World Arena where delegates are being selected to attend the Democratic National Convention in August.
