Weston Jefferson Thomas v. the People of the State of Colorado

Summary

The court reversed and remanded after holding that Thomas's arrest was effected when deputies handcuffed him, that his two felony convictions arising from one act against one at-risk victim had to merge, and that two reclassified level 4 drug felonies could not support habitual-criminal adjudication. The court directed reconsideration of the resisting-arrest sufficiency challenge, merger into a single bodily-injury-to-an-at-risk-person conviction, and resentencing without habitual-criminal treatment.
