Colorado Motor Vehicle Dealer Board, Petitioner v. Jeffrey Freeman, Respondent

Summary

The court held that Freeman's felony conviction for third-degree assault on an at-risk adult was a felony in violation of article 8 of title 18, even though the felony enhancement appeared in a different statutory article. Because the enhancement increased the penalty for, but did not create a separate offense from, third-degree assault, the Board properly denied Freeman's salesperson-license application. The court reversed the court of appeals and remanded for further proceedings.
