Boulder police have obtained arrest warrants for two animal rights activists accused of ruining $1,000 worth of meat at Ideal Market on Sunday.

“They have until tomorrow (Friday) to turn themselves in or we will come and find them,” police spokeswoman Shannon Cordingly said. “We have to (pursue charges) because she damaged a thousand dollars worth of meat that could not be sold.”

Boulder police are seeking charges against 15-year-old Ateret Goldman and Maximilian Knight, 23. Knight is facing burglary, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and criminal mischief charges — all felonies — and an misdemeanor count of tampering.

The Daily Camera normally doesn’t publish the names of juveniles but is in this case because her name was released by the organization.
