An incident in Denver that started with a drug-induced psychotic episode and ended with the largest single-location insurance claim for the state of Colorado has earned a man 8 years in prison.

Brandon Olsen, 46, is accused of breaking into the Colorado Supreme Court building on East 14th Avenue in early 2024. He set three fires and shot out multiple windows before calling 911 on himself.

The sprinklers ran for hours, dropping inches of water and destroying nearly everything on the fifth, sixth and seventh floors. The rampage ended up causing an estimated $25 million worth of damage .
