Police search for mischievous leprechaun

Boulder Police are looking for a Leprechaun who caused mischief and mayhem in a King Soopers parking lot.

They received calls from people about a man dressed as a leprechaun outside the store at 30th St. and Arapahoe Ave. at about 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday.



Boulder Police Sgt. Fred Gerhardt said they responded because the caller said the leprechaun was jumping in and out from between cars, pretending to shoot at people with his fingers. The report also said on top of that, he may have made obscene gestures with his fingers.

"I think that's why they called us," Gerhardt says. "He was acting bizarre." But officers didn't find anyone matching the suspect's description. Boulder Police had not ever received a complaint about a leprechaun before this,Gerhardt said.
