A Glenwood Springs man guilty of threatening Summit teachers and schools on social media will spend the rest of his sentence in jail after failing out of work release.
Charles Draughn was terminated from Garfield County community corrections earlier this month, according to the District Attorney’s office. In response, Summit County District Court judge Reed Owens ordered Draughn to the state department of corrections.
Draughn is nine months into a three-year sentence for felony menacing. He pleaded guilty this January for making threats in early 2023, when he referred to rifles, blades and violence. He called Summit Schools superintendent Tony Byrd a “Chinese loving pedophile.”
During his sentencing, Draughn teared up and apologized for his comments.
