"I screamed, I cried. I was so excited. I can't believe it. My kids thought, "What's going on with mommy?" said Apolinaris. "And I'm like, "The guy who stole our stuff is arrested, and he is going to finally be charged with just the horrible thing that he did to us and so many other people." And I'm just so happy. I can't believe it, I just can't believe it."
The Denver District Attorney's Office did not release any information on charges as of Tuesday night.
