After 19 years, police report surfaces in Jared Polis campaign for governor

On June 23, 1999, Polis — then a businessman — called police to report he suspected an employee who had recently given her notice, Patricia Hughes, was attempting to make off with documents from the offices of JPS International , a Boulder-based company he owned. Hughes “attempted to leave the office. (Polis) physically blocked the door to prevent her from leaving. She moved toward him again, this time hitting him with one of her bags. (Polis) then put both of his hands on her shoulders and pushed her back to prevent her from leaving.” A supplement to the report says Hughes told officers that Polis “grabbed her and pushed her back into the office” when she tried to leave. “Hughes said that when (Polis) pushed her she was pushed back into a filing cabinet, hurting her leg.” She also told officers she attempted to dial 911 three times and that Polis had disconnected the phone twice. The officers discovered company documents in Hughes’ bags, including original contracts involving some of the other companies Polis owned. They issued a ticket to Hughes on a charge of theft of trade secrets. Three months later, Hughes pleaded guilty and received an 18-month deferred sentence, which she completed. The incident did not come up in Polis’ several campaigns for public office since then, including his bid for the state Board of Education and five runs for the 2nd Congressional District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Hughes died in 2014.

The police reports identify the businessman as “Jared Polis Schutz,” his name at the time. In 2000 Polis changed his name, taking his mother’s maiden name, Polis, as his last name and using his father’s name, Schutz, as his middle name. His Mother is Susan Polis Schutz

Police Report

The interesting portion of this information is the story from Polis..is different from what the police report states, infact, they can't come to a conclusion as to either statement on the physical altercation. What is interesting and important I believe, is Jared Polis Schutz was the owner of JPS International, LLC none of which I have seen in listings with other business listings in his name. In addition Hughes was taking files with her and the story states she was embezzling from the company, and yet, there are no charges/reports by Polis that indicate she did. What was Polis trying to hide?

Also included is an op-ed by his brother attesting to his character..needs to be read to be appreciated.

Jared Polis: To Know Him Is To Loathe Him

03/03/09

Openly gay Congressman Jared Polis (D.-Colo.) has a peculiar habit of creating enemies. Silicon Valley's movers and shakers loathe him. His fellow rich Colorado gays shun him. And now the media hates him, too! The now-defunct Rocky Mountain News, which published its last edition on Friday, endorsed Polis's opponent in the November election which put him in Congress. He just couldn't resist dancing on the newspaper's grave: "I have to say, that when we say, 'Who killed The Rocky Mountain News,' we're all part of it, for better or worse, and I argue it's mostly for the better," Polis said at the Netroots Nation in Your Neighborhood event in Westminster, according to a recording posted online. The group supports progressive politics. "The media is dead, and long live the new media, which is all of us," said Polis, a Boulder Democrat. That sent The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg into a predictable fit of apoplexy. (He titled his blog post "Go to Hell, Jared Polis" before some prudish Atlantic editor changed it.)

So the pundits of Washington D.C. are getting a taste of Polis's know-it-all self-righteousness! That's a relief to people in Silicon Valley and Colorado, who bore the brunt of it. As an 18-year-old, he traveled to Russia and made money trading privatization vouchers — you know, the botched, scandal-ridden privatization which wrecked Russa's economy and led to the domination of the economy by ex-KGB oligarchs. Next stop: Silicon Valley! In October 1999, right before the first dotcom crash, Polis, then known as Jared Polis Schutz, sold Bluemountain.com, his family's online greeting-cards website, to Excite@Home for $780 million, including $350 million in cash that Excite couldn't really spare. Excite sold it for $35 million in September 2001, and filed for bankruptcy a month later. People still talk about it as one of the most spectacular cashouts of the dotcom boom.

He later sold ProFlowers, an online florist, to John Malone's Liberty Media. (All told, he's started a dozen companies.) He used the cash to buy his way into politics, getting elected to the Colorado State Board of Education (and changing his name to Jared Schutz Polis, "to honor his mother's maiden name"). When he geared up to run for Congress, he didn't get much support from natural allies. Fellow gay Colorado tech entrepreneur Tim Gill declined to back him in the primary, as did Coors scion Scott Coors and his partner David Hurt. He won against the candidate they backed, and trounced his Republican opponent. One of his first acts as a congressman? He took his staff on a retreat to Boulder, Colo., and forced them to eat a vegan lunch and do yoga. Who is this guy? People sure don't like him. And yet it seems like being on the other side of a deal from him is a losing bet. Which means: He's sure going to have fun in Washington!
