Adams County Judge Brett Martin sentenced a man to 25 years in prison Tuesday for multiple robberies and an attempted kidnapping across Thornton and Westminster in 2024.
Jeremiah Mullins, 32, pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated robbery, second-degree attempted kidnapping and second-degree motor vehicle theft for robbing multiple people at gunpoint and later trying to kidnap a teenage girl on Oct. 25, 2024, according to a news release from the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
“This was an outrageous crime that terrorized a teenage girl as well as our entire community,” said District Attorney Brian Mason in a news release. “The defendant, who was a complete stranger, targeted an innocent teenage girl in broad daylight — an act that is as brazen as it is dangerous. He also held three separate victims at gunpoint, terrorizing them and stealing one of their cars.”
That day, Mullins robbed a man at gunpoint, stealing his phone and wallet, as well as other belongings, according to the release. He then confronted a woman coming home with her child, robbing her of her car keys at gunpoint. He then drove her vehicle into a field and abandoned it.
Later that morning, Mullins entered another woman’s car and held her at gunpoint, forcing her to drive a short distance before trying and failing to steal the vehicle, according to the release.
He was then driving another stolen car when he approached a teenage girl near the intersection of 128th Avenue and Delaware Street in Westminster. He pointed a gun at her and demanded she get in the car. When she tried to stall, he grabbed her backpack and fled.
The case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Aaron Brunskill.
