By Catie Cheshire, Westword | Jay Bianchi, the embattled former owner of Grateful Dead-inspired bars Sancho’s Broken Arrow, Quixote’s True Blue and So Many Roads Brewery, has been arrested by the Denver Police Department in connection with three separate cases related to sexual misconduct in 2020 and 2024.
According to the Denver Sheriff’s Department inmate search, Bianchi was booked on April 16 and is currently being held at the Downtown Detention Center.
The DPD confirms that Bianchi is being held for seven counts, six for sexual assault and one for unlawful sexual contact.
One case allegedly occurred in October 2020 in the 700 block of East Colfax Avenue, where Sancho’s was located before it was shut down in a settlement with the city in 2022 over liquor-license violations and a public-nuisance complaint related to illegal cocaine dealing by bartenders.
