Story summary

Barry Morphew, a Colorado man who was free on $3 million bond in his wife's alleged killing, has been jailed after being involved in a hit-and-run crash with two other vehicles in Denver. The incident occurred on August 28 during a trip to Denver International Airport, where Morphew allegedly went to pick up his daughter, despite being under bond conditions that prohibited him from traveling away from home except for work and limited circumstances. Prosecutors filed a court document stating that Morphew's actions constituted a breach of his bond. He was arrested on September 1 and booked into the Boulder County Jail. Morphew has pleaded not guilty to the charges related to his wife's death, which occurred in 2020, and is set to face trial next summer.
