Fort Collins Police are asking for witnesses to come forward following an attempted murder.

On May 15, 2018 around 9:00 p.m., John Henson was crossing Linden Street near the Poudre River Bridge when he was purposefully struck by a vehicle. Henson sustained minor injuries and the vehicle that struck him, a green four-door sedan, was not located at that time. The next day, police did locate a vehicle suspected to have been involved.

On May 16, 2018 around 2:20 p.m., police received a disturbance call at the Catholic Charities mission after Brenton Dolph (DOB 04/05/94) allegedly attempted to slash Henson. Henson was not injured, and Dolph was arrested without incident nearby. Dolph faces charges of Aggravated Intimidation of a Victim (class 3 felony) and Attempted First Degree Assault (class 4 felony). Additional charges are pending. A booking photo is attached courtesy of the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office.
