Criminal Charges in Victor
Although Victor has a smaller population, arrests still occur regularly, especially during:
- Tourist season
- Casino-related travel through the area
- Hunting season
- Weekend mountain traffic
Common charges include:
- DUI & DWAI
- Traffic offenses
- Assault & menacing
- Domestic violence
- Drug possession
- Weapons charges

Many cases originate from traffic stops on mountain roads or calls for service within residential areas.
DUI Arrests in Victor
DUI arrests frequently occur on:
- Highway 67
- Victor Avenue
- Connecting mountain routes between Victor and Cripple Creek
Mountain roads, elevation changes, and seasonal weather conditions often play a role in traffic stops.
A DUI arrest triggers two separate proceedings:
- A criminal case in Teller County Court
- A DMV administrative case — also known as an Express Consent hearing
You have a limited window after arrest to request an Express Consent (DMV) hearing to protect your license. Missing that deadline can result in automatic suspension.

Tourism & Weekend Enforcement
Victor’s proximity to Cripple Creek casinos means law enforcement often monitors:

- Impaired driving
- Disorderly conduct
- Assault allegations
- Public intoxication
Surveillance footage and officer body camera recordings frequently play a central role in prosecution.
We carefully review all available evidence to challenge unsupported allegations.
Domestic Violence & Protection Orders
Domestic violence charges in Victor trigger:
- Immediate no-contact protection orders

- Strict bond conditions
