What’s that old saying about falling apples and trees and such? Laura Voepel, the mother of Anderson Lee Aldrich, the man accused of murdering five people and causing several others to be injured when he opened fire on patrons inside Colorado Springs’ Club Q on Nov.
19, has also been arrested, according to LGBTQ Nation. At 3:30 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 12, just hours after her son allegedly staged a mass shooting in the LGBTQ bar, Voepel was arrested by Colorado Springs police on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Police said that Voepel was standing outside of some apartments making “unreasonable noise,” and that even after she was told to stop yelling, she kept right on yelling.
