A retired Aurora Police Department sergeant who bought an AR-15 for a felon who was living in his basement and who set off pipe bombs in Aurora was sentenced to three months in jail.
Curtiss Christensen, 70, was sentenced to 90 days in jail plus four years of supervised probation, as well as 75 hours of community service by an Arapahoe County District Court judge.
Campbell’s bombs, set off on Christmas 2020 and Jan. 7, 2021, sent shrapnel into three nearby homes. When police were investigating the bombings, they found out about the rifle that had been bought by Christensen for Campbell, and also discovered he had helped Campbell hide evidence, according to prosecutors.
But in December, he pleaded guilty to one count of straw purchase of a firearm, a class 4 felony, and the other counts were dismissed.
