THORNTON, Colo. (KDVR) -- A Thornton man has been arrested for allegedly violating a protection order that mandated he stay 15 feet away from the mayor.Dariush Namazi told the Problem Solvers he was taken into custody on Thursday at a Ward 4 Ice Cream Social at the Fallbrook Farms Park. Thornton Mayor Jan Kulman was in attendance, as was Namazi. Kulman was granted the protection order on July 18 after she showed an Adams County magistrate judge a body camera video that she said showed Namazi invading her personal space and making her feel concerned for her safety. As FOX31 previously reported, Namazi has taken on the character of Danny Kulmann, a former President Trump-loving MAGA supporter who dresses up in a red t-shirt with a picture of Thornton's mayor on his chest and a MAGA baseball cap. Thornton mayor granted permanent protection order Namazi said his aim was to engage in political parody to show the mayor as an extreme right-wing Republican, something she has told the Prob...
