GREELEY, Colo. – The woman accused of abusing her son in a Facebook video that went viral in May pleaded guilty Tuesday to misdemeanor child abuse charges.

Katrina Kennedy-Flores, 27, of Lochbuie, faces up to two years in jail after she pleaded guilty to child abuse knowingly or recklessly causing bodily injury charges in a Weld County District courtroom.

Police arrested Kennedy-Flores in late May after another woman posted a 16-minute video to Facebook May 9 showing Kennedy-Flores hurling insults and death threats at her son, then slamming the boy’s booster chair down near or on top of him.

After walking away, the video show Kennedy-Flores returning to the boy’s playpen and hitting him. Police photographs showed the boy suffered bruising to his arms, legs and forehead.

A court allows her to see the boy in limited and supervised settings after she was initially barred from seeing him.

Kennedy-Flores is a single mother on permanent disability. Her attorney says she suffers from scoliosis and cerebral palsy.

She is due back in court for sentencing Jan. 3.

BOULDER, Colo. – Police arrested a former Boulder County sheriff’s deputy who worked at the county jail Tuesday morning on charges he conspired to smuggle marijuana edibles and chewing tobacco into the jail in late September.

Boulder police say Tyler P. Mason, 33, was struggling with money when he agreed to bring the contraband into the jail for an inmate who was a childhood friend.

Another inmate told jail staffers about the plan on Sept. 23, and on Sept. 28, undercover detectives watched Mason allegedly take $160 from a woman in Longmont, which was to be used to buy the edibles and tobacco. Police say the woman was in on the plan.

Though the planned transaction never happened and there is no evidence Mason had smuggled contraband before, he was placed on administrative leave, then fired from the sheriff’s office on Oct. 12.

Mason had been working at the jail since December 2014.

He will be charged with one felony count of first-degree conspiracy to introduce contraband, a felony second-degree count of conspiracy to introduce contraband, and misdemeanor first-degree official misconduct.

Mason was booked into and released from the Boulder County jail Tuesday and is next scheduled to appear in court Dec. 1 to be formally charged.

DENVER – Police are holding a man for investigation on murder charges after he allegedly shot a man to death early Sunday morning in what was initially believed to have been a home burglary.

Michael E. Lewis, 46, is being held for investigation on first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a previous offender charges.

Denver police were originally called out to a home in the 4700 block of Ireland Court, near Green Valley Ranch Boulevard, just before 6 a.m. Sunday after a person originally described as a suspected burglar was shot multiple times.

The victim of the shooting later died at a Denver hospital. The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner identified the victim Monday afternoon as Thomas Johnson Jr., 53.

A probable cause statement for Lewis’ arrest says Lewis called 911 after the shooting and told dispatchers he had to shoot a man after the man broke into his house. He said he had shot the man in the leg and that the man was also bleeding from his head, but Lewis would not say where the gun was located.

Investigators brought Lewis, who was convicted in 2010 of felony forgery and sentenced to five years in prison, to the police station for an interview, at which time Lewis declined to speak to officers without a lawyer present.

An officer who rode with the victim of the shooting to the hospital told investigators the victim was shot twice in each leg and had a gunshot wound to the back of his head.

A different officer said there was no sign of forced entry at the home either.

Court records show Lewis has an extensive rap sheet that includes arrests on vehicle theft, assault, menacing, and domestic violence charges, among others.

DPD says the investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.
