LAKEWOOD, Colo (KDVR) -- A Lakewood woman said she couldn't believe her eyes, pulling up behind a white Ford pickup truck Saturday afternoon near Sheridan and Alameda.The license plate was dirty but seemed to match the description of a truck she had just seen on a highway message board. "I was shocked," she said. "He pulled over into the pawn store and I took the next left just so I could keep an eye on the truck. I drove past it again to confirm the license plate number, and I called 911." What is a Medina Alert and when is it issued?
