She was sentenced to community service and fined.Īccording to a police report, Neuschwanger was driving alone when she was pulled over by an officer for having her high beams on and for weaving into oncoming traffic.

Neuschwanger was arrested again on May 1, 2010, this time by Erie police officers. “So I slapped him.” Republican gubernatorial candidate Danielle Neuschwanger in a campaign video.
“I had grabbed my keys and had attempted to leave and he tried to stop me,” she said. In an interview with The Sun, Neuschwanger said the incident started when her boyfriend accused her of cheating on him and that it was he, not she, who broke the picture frame when he started throwing hair brushes and books “in my general direction.” The boyfriend said she also smashed a picture frame during the argument. The allegations were dismissed by prosecutors a few months later.Ī Boulder Police Department report says Neuschwanger admitted to slapping her boyfriend during a fight. All three charges were related to domestic violence, according to court records. 5, 2008, Neuschwanger - who was then 20 and known by her maiden name, Knopp - was arrested by Boulder police officers and charged with third-degree assault, criminal mischief under $500 and false imprisonment. The Sun obtained court records and police reports to get the details. Neuschwanger often acknowledges her arrest record in campaign appearances - “I’ve been arrested three times,” she said at the Douglas County candidate forum in Douglas County, “and I’m very proud of that, actually” - but she hasn’t elaborated on what happened in the cases. “Perception is everything,” she said at a recent candidate forum in Douglas County, “and I perceive that there was too much fraud in not only the 2020 election, but here in Colorado in the 2021 election.”ĭocuments detail arrests, protection order She also has cast unfounded doubt about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
She also said Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat, should be jailed “for the rest of her life” for committing treason (a remark she later walked back) and has advocated for firing everyone appointed by Polis in state government and starting over from scratch. On the campaign trail, Neuschwanger has threatened to arrest Polis for official misconduct. But while the GOP nominee may not have a clear path to victory in November, they will likely serve as the Republican party’s standard bearer in an election in which conservatives are hoping to reverse two cycles of stinging defeats that have left Democrats with more power in Colorado than they’ve had in a century. Whoever becomes the GOP nominee will face a major challenge in trying to unseat Polis, who is willing to spend tens of millions of his own dollars to ensure he has another four years leading the state. She is trying to get on the primary ballot at the GOP state assembly on April 9 in Colorado Springs by securing the support of at least 30% of the party delegates at the event. It was that same boyfriend, now a police officer, who filed the restraining order against Neuschwanger, which remains in effect.

The boyfriend was identified as being linked to one of the criminal cases, but as the victim. A screenshot from Danielle Neuschwanger’s campaign website. In public appearances and in interviews, Neuschwanger has blamed her run-ins with the law on an ex-boyfriend who she said was abusive. Court records show her blood-alcohol level was 0.109%, above the 0.08% limit. In the third, an arrest for alleged drunken driving, she pleaded guilty to driving while ability impaired. Serious charges against Neuschwanger, now 34, were dropped in two of the criminal cases.
