Highlands Ranch residents charged with assault, conspiracy after trip wire injures salesman

2 residents in Highlands Ranch have been charged with assault after allegedly setting a trip wire on their walkway, which triggered a device to set off a loud bang and injured a door-to-door salesman.

On March 10 just before 3 p.m., a deputy with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office responded to a call for assistance along the 9200 block of Ashburn Court in Highlands Ranch.

When the deputy arrived at the scene, he met with a 25-year-old victim who worked as a door-to-door salesman for a house painting company, according to an affidavit. The man said the previous day, March 9, he had started to walk up to a home on Ashburn Court along the driveway and then the walkway to the front door. As he moved toward the door, his foot or lower leg hit a wire, which caused an unseen device to make a loud bang.

The victim said he saw a bright white flash of light and felt disoriented. He remembered having blurred vision and ringing in his ears. He told police he didn't know where the sound came from, according to the affidavit.

In-depth story on Tracy and QAnon

A QAnon Follower Booby-Trapped Her Home With Flashbangs and Pepper Spray

The conspiracy theorist was arrested last week after a door-to-door salesman stepped on a tripwire at her property and suffered hearing loss.

Remington’s belief in conspiracy theories began well before the QAnon conspiracy first emerged in late 2017.

In 2008, Remington shot at her then-husband, Gregory Remington, at their home in McMinnville, Oregon, because, she has claimed repeatedly in videos posted on social media, she said that he was creating child pornography. There is no evidence to back up these assertions.

She served 16 months in prison for the incident, but in recent years as the Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies emerged, Remington’s claims took on a whole new life—especially when she added the claim that her former husband was working for the Clinton Foundation.
