2/24/26 - Salt remains in custody and is set to appear again today at 1:00pm.  The courts are having difficulty finding him an alternative defense counsel (ADC).  This happens sometimes when the public defender's office has a conflict of interest in taking his case. 

2/23/26 - Salt is set for a hearing on bond today at 1:00pm 

Cortez Police responded to the local emergency room on February 17 after a man was brought in with a severe leg injury following an assault and the theft of his electric bicycle near the city park. Officers later located a bicycle matching the description of the stolen one, abandoned in a nearby neighborhood. The victim suffered serious bodily injury and was transferred to Grand Junction for surgery.

The suspect, Stascon Salt Sr., was identified during the investigation and was reportedly seen fleeing from officers after abandoning the bicycle. Salt appeared in court today, where his bond was set at $10,000 cash or surety. The case remains under investigation.

Salt is set to appear for a hearing on bond on Feb. 19 at 1pm and for a return filing of charges on March 5, at 9am in case 26CR28.
