BOULDER, Colo. -- A Boulder woman was out of jail Thursday, after being locked up over the weekend for installing a new garage door.The Boulder Daily Camera reported in its Thursday editions that Megan Forbes was arrested and taken to jail on Sunday for failing to show up on a court summons she received for replacing her original garage door with a new one.The problem, the newspaper reported, was that Forbes' home is in the history Mapleton Hill area and replacing the original garage door on her 106-year-old home required a Landmark Alteration Certificate from the city -- something she didn't obtain.
Forbes was getting ready for church Sunday when a Boulder police officer knocked on her door, arrested her, and took her to jail.The 26-year-old woman is working with a subcommittee of the city's Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board to bring her garage door into compliance.
