Warrant issued for New Mexico horse rider who threatened hikers on Colorado trail

The Summit County Sheriff's Office recently issued an arrest warrant for a woman who threatened to trample and shoot four hikers on a trail near Frisco.

The incident happened in July and was immediately reported by the group, according to information provided by the sheriff's office. But the case went cold - until a recent phone call.

The woman was on horseback on the Meadow Creek Trail northwest of the town. The trail is open to both hikers and horse riders.

The encounter turned sour when the hikers told the woman her dog should be on a leash, according to the sheriff's office. The woman responded with threats, then homophobic slurs as she rode away.

The hikers told investigators they never saw a gun, but they were left shaken and upset, and concerned for their safety.
