Criminal charges against Black Colorado ranchers dropped

Charges against CW and Nicole Mallery, including felony stalking, tampering with a utility meter and petty theft, were dismissed on Thursday, May 11 after months of disputes with a neighbor and local law enforcement.

All criminal charges brought against two Black ranchers in El Paso County, Colorado amid claims of facing racial harassment at their property during a months-long dispute with a neighbor and local law enforcement, have been dismissed.  

Courtney “CW” Mallery and his wife, Nicole Mallery, allege they were terrorized at their ranch for months as the local sheriff’s office turned a blind eye to their claims and instead sided with a white neighbor who filed their own harassment claims against the Black couple, according to reports from ABC affiliate today!
