"A man accused of firing multiple times at a Garfield County Sheriff’s Department deputy Monday was intoxicated at the time and had a history of getting out of hand when drunk, an arrest affidavit said.
The affidavit said neighbors told investigators that Craig Dance, 61, has been suicidal, and one neighbor said she “had always known that this was going to happen,” referring to Monday’s incident.
Ninth Judicial District Court Judge Denise Lynch on Tuesday set bond at $500,000 in the case.
Dance lives on Westbank Road south of Glenwood Springs. He is accused of firing on a deputy who responded to a welfare check at his home late Monday afternoon. The deputy hid behind his patrol vehicle and was uninjured. The vehicle was struck by multiple bullets.
Dance surrendered peacefully several hours later after holing up in his home. He is being held in Garfield County Jail...."
