SELF-DEFENSE CLASSES GET A #METOO BOOST

The Denver Police Department began free self-defense classes for women in 2010. The demand has accelerated with the #MeToo movement.

Fresh Jets founder Timothy Richard Wozniak on Thursday pleaded guilty to identity theft and fraud after getting caught racking up hefty charges on a customer’s credit card.

The Denver entrepreneur behind the affordable private jet service was sentenced to two years of probation on both counts to be served concurrently and ordered to pay $231,264.35 in restitution, according to Vikki Migoya, spokeswoman for District Attorney for the 18th Judicial District.

Other charges, which included theft and forgery, were dropped. Wozniak, 31, has paid the restitution, Migoya added.

Wozniak, who goes by the name Timmy, started Fresh Jets a couple of years after graduating from the University of Denver. The service offered discounted seats on private chartered flights. He also started Fresh Trips in 2015, offering all-inclusive vacations to Cancun through Fresh Trips.

But then one client, Navajo Express founder and CEO Don Digby Sr., began noticing large, unexplained charges on his Platinum American Express bill. Digby told Cherry Hills Village police, who turned the case over to Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler.

Separately, Wozniak faced 11 charges in Denver District Court and pleaded guilty in May to one Class 3 felony count of unauthorized use of a financial transaction.

In July, Wozniak was sentenced to 60 days in jail followed by two years of supervised probation. He was also ordered to pay $37,254 in restitution and serve 250 hours of community service.
