Greeley, CO – A man featured in the Weld County Sheriff’s Office’s weekly “Warrant Wednesday” social media post has been taken into custody, authorities announced Thursday afternoon.
According to the Weld County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO), Christopher Walter was taken into custody on Wednesday, January 29, 2026, at approximately 2:27 p.m. The agency confirmed the arrest in an update posted on its official Facebook page.
Walter had been highlighted during the department’s January 28 “Warrant Wednesday” feature, which publicly lists individuals wanted on active warrants. Less than 24 hours later, deputies reported that he was located and booked into custody.
Details surrounding the original warrant and the charges were not immediately disclosed. WCSO emphasized that “all charges are merely accusations until and unless proven guilty in a court of law.”
