The Coloradoan is reporting that a suspect in a sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl in February has been hand delivered to the county jail.

19-year-old Elijah Jordan Jackson was arrested last week when his mother dropped him off at the Larimer County jail. An arrest warrant had been issued for Jackson Oct. 24, 2014. Jackson's mom drove to Wyoming, where he was staying, and picked him up.

"I would commend the mother. That's not easy at any point in time to bring a family member, bring your child in," Smith said. "People think that peace officers have a lot of authority and power, but truth is moms' have a heck of a lot more power than that."

Jackson denies the charges and says that he turned himself in.
