Every time Michael Bryant leaves his apartment, he worries.
“It’s gotten to the point where I feel like it’s getting dangerous,” Bryant said.
That’s his punishment for doing a good deed — calling 911 when a neighbor was in trouble.
“I had heard him downstairs causing a commotion,” Bryant said. “He would beat on the neighbor; he would break out her windows. It got to the point that I asked him not to come back, and he did not like that.”
He is talking about Darryl Springs, a convicted felon who served more than 10 years in prison for robbery of an at-risk adult, as well as separate sentences for escape and theft, before being granted parole.
The Colorado Department of Corrections has Springs listed as an absconder, which means he left parole supervision without permission, or has not reported as directed, and whose location to the department is unknown. This is a violation that comes with a warrant.
Bryant says he’s reported Springs’s whereabouts directly to DOC.
