I've watched some interesting interactions on TV between women who become jealous if another woman engages with someone they have feelings for. However, I think the interaction I read about in the news takes the cake. According to the news, a woman became angry that another woman was talking with her husband. She began harassing the woman by banging on the victim's car window at a traffic light. Then, she followed the victim in her car and yelled at her at each stop light. When the victim drove to the police station, the woman continued to yell and scream at her. She even punched her and pulled the victim's hair. The woman was charged with multiple crimes, including Harassment and Assault.  For the purposes of this blog, we'll focus on Harassment. If you've been charged with Harassment in Denver, Douglas County or anywhere else in Colorado, contact a Harassment Denver lawyer at our office immediately.
