Barry Morphew was arrested and booked into Boulder County Jail on an outstanding warrant, according to a custody record. The record shows Morphew was taken into custody at approximately 9:11 p.m. on September 3 and was listed as in custody as of 11:11 p.m. The arrest was made by the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, who stated that Morphew was taken into custody on a warrant from Alamosa County for failure to comply with court orders.
Morphew is currently awaiting trial in Alamosa County in a murder case involving his wife, Suzanne Morphew. He had previously been released on a $3 million bond, but under strict conditions. His recent custody status comes after a hit-and-run investigation in Denver, first reported by CBS Colorado, which raised concerns about whether Morphew had violated the terms of his release. A judge recently tightened those conditions, ordering Morphew to remain inside his home at all times, with no exceptions.
In a newly released motion, prosecutors stated that they reviewed video obtained by CBS Colorado and concluded that Morphew is "clearly visible and identifiable as the person who perpetrated the hit-and-run." This development adds to the legal pressures facing Morphew, who is also facing trial in the murder case involving his wife. A bond hearing in his Alamosa County case is currently scheduled for September 8.
CBS Colorado has reached out to law enforcement for more information regarding Thursday night's arrest. This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
