DENVER (CBS4)- Police in Denver arrested Michael Ninomiya, 42, for investigation of attempted first-degree murder after an incident involving his 5-year-old son. Officers were called to the Cherry Creek Trail, in the vicinity of Hentzell Park, on Jan. 12.
According to the arrest affidavit, Ninomiya called 911 and it seemed to take a little while for first responders to locate the man and his son.
