100 years in prison for Greenwood Village barricade defendant

An Aurora man being pursued by law enforcement who barricaded himself in a Greenwood Village home was sentenced to 100 years in prison.

Arapahoe District Court Judge Andrew Baum sentenced Robert Seacat, 35, to a total of 100 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections. A jury in September found Seacat guilty of numerous counts including attempted manslaughter. He was also determined to be a habitual offender, enhancing his sentence.

“There was no reason for this defendant to put so many people in harm’s way,” said Deputy District Attorney Joe Whitfield, who tried the case with Chief Deputy District Attorney Vicki Klingensmith. “He has proven he has no regard for others, and it is appropriate for him to have no place in society.”

On June 3, 2015, Aurora police investigated a theft report at 9400 E Hampden Ave. An officer questioned a suspect, and the man, later identified as Seacat, fled. He jumped into a vehicle and tried to run over the officer. A witness told police Seacat had a gun.

Law enforcement tracked Seacat to a home in the 4200 block of South Alton Way in Greenwood Village, where a home alarm system was activated.

Seacat had broken into the house, where a 9-year-old boy was home alone. Police got the boy’s mother to come to the scene, and she convinced the scared child to come out of the home. He was unharmed, and Seacat remained inside.
A standoff ensued that lasted 19 hours. Ultimately, tear gas, SWAT teams, a Bearcat vehicle were used to take Seacat into custody.

“This is a defendant who turned his back on all opportunities to behave in any appropriate manner,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. “He put the public at risk, he put uniformed officer at risk, and he showed no regard for anyone else. He has proven that prison is the only place he can safely be accommodated, and it is good he will be there a very long time.”

Securities fraud leads to 10 years in prison

An Aurora man who bilked investors out of more than $900,000 has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Chisan Chong, 41, pleaded guilty March 3 to five counts of felony securities crimes in a case dating to September 2011. The case was investigated by Greenwood Village police assisted by the Colorado Division of Securities, part of the Department of Regulatory Agencies.

On May 12, Arapahoe District Judge Kurt Horton sentenced Chong to 10 years in the Department of Corrections for three counts, and 25 years of economic crimes probation for the remaining two counts. Chong also was ordered to pay more than $1.3 million in restitution (including interest) to his victims.

“This defendant has engaged in long-term patent fraud and has taken no outward steps that he will respect the law going forward,” Judge Horton said. “Securities fraud is a serious crime and can cause great personal and societal harm. … A correction sentence is appropriate.”

Chong’s attorney had requested probation.

Prosecuting attorney Erika Reuer requested prison time.

The defendant “is not credible. … There is no reason to believe any explanation offered by Mr. Chong,” Reuer told the court. “He is a detriment to everyone else and this is certainly a case that warrants prison.”

District Attorney George Brauchler praised the work of the investigating team and the decision of the court.

“To those who believe they can financially exploit people in this community without fear of prison, let this case and its result serve as a warning. Economic crimes harm victims in ways that can last longer than physical crimes,” he said. “My office has an aggressive economic crimes unit, and I’m glad to see the court supporting our efforts in this area with a stiff sentence for this perpetrator.”

Colorado Securities Commissioner Gerald Rome agreed.

“Judge Horton made a strong statement to would be con artists: Colorado is a bad place to cheat investors. Investment crooks are caught, prosecuted and sent to prison here,” Rome said. “I am pleased that the collaborative work between the Division of Securities, Greenwood Village police, and the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office has brought this criminal matter to a successful and just conclusion.”
