LOVELAND, Colo. — Michael Fuller, a 30-year-old Loveland man, is in custody on multiple charges, including first-degree murder, in connection with the death of his mother, 71-year-old Toni Fuller. Police discovered her body on Friday evening during a welfare check after receiving a call from her daughter, who was unable to contact her mother.
Officers responding to the call encountered Fuller at the residence on Foothills Drive. Inside, they found Toni Fuller deceased, with the coroner’s office later confirming her death was due to blunt and sharp force injuries. Records indicate that Toni Fuller was Michael Fuller’s mother, and that family members had previously requested a protection order against him due to his history of substance abuse and violent behavior.
Just days before this incident, Fuller was arrested on October 9 following an altercation at Namaqua Park. In that case, a woman reported that Fuller, who appeared intoxicated, became enraged after she declined his request for a cigarette. He allegedly threatened to kill her and her dog, and threw objects at them, forcing her to retreat into the water. When police arrived, Fuller resisted arrest, at one point attempting to pull an officer underwater.
Fuller was charged with multiple offenses, including second-degree assault on a peace officer and felony menacing. Court records show he was released on October 14 after posting a $250 bond, but the district attorney’s office later stated that they had not been fully informed about the details of Fuller’s behavior during the October incident, suggesting that a higher bond may have been requested otherwise.
Fuller is currently held in the Larimer County Jail with a $10 million cash-only bond, facing charges of first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and violating a protection order.
