The Aspen man accused of robbing a local pot dispensary is back in Pitkin County. He was being held in St. Louis, after he fled from police.
A paperwork mix up in St. Louis County landed Hayden May in the custody of Roaring Fork Valley local authorities. Authorities in Missouri never served him the warrant related to the high speed chase he led police on and the resulting head-on collision with an officer. That meant he could no longer be in the custody of St. Louis County.
Hayden will be first prosecuted here on felony charges related to the robbery at Stash, fleeing police and stealing a car. After this case is completed, he will be prosecuted in St. Louis where he faces other felony charges, including assaulting a police officer. He is being held on a $100,000 bond in the Pitkin County Jail and faces a minimum of 16 years if convicted of the crimes he allegedly committed here.
