Hey everyone, it's Anna Lynn from the newsroom.
I've loved driving around the Western Slope and appreciating the hillsides awash with vibrant colors. Here's a photo I snapped from the passenger seat of a hillside along I-70 near Glenwood Springs a week ago:

Plea in finger-biting case: Crime reporter Katharhynn Heidelberg brings us the latest on this wild trial about a man who bit off the fingertip of the Olathe police chief during an arrest last year.
One day after Francisco Lopez's trial was put on hold over last-minute evidence, he reached a plea agreement that saw the most serious charges against him dismissed.
Lopez pleaded guilty yesterday to third-degree assault as a class-1 misdemeanor. He was sentenced to one year in jail and has already spent 345 days behind bars awaiting trial, so he received credit for that time.
Denver Art Museum accidentally got stolen art: Earlier this week, a large team of journalists from around the world published a series of articles about an investigation spanning multiple years. After years of delving through millions of documents, named the Pandora Papers, the teams uncovered the hidden wealth and financial crimes of the global elite.
But! The investigation has a Colorado connection: the Denver Art Museum has a few stolen Cambodian artifacts obtained through Douglas Latchford, a British art collector included in the Pandora Papers release. Latchford falsified official documents to pass off the artifacts as genuine.
Stolen artifacts obtained via Latchford are also found at other museums around the world, including the Met Museum in New York and the British Museum in London.
In a statement to the Colorado Sun, the Denver Art Museum said that they are working to return some of the artifacts to Cambodia. Read the full story here.
Whoa, that's cool: Some scientists at the University of Colorado have partnered with the United Arab Emirates to build a space probe that will land on an asteroid way out between Mars and Jupiter.
The project, which won't launch until 2028 when Earth and Venus are aligned, could explore the origins of the universe on space rocks that are billions of years old.
