Can 2 counties be involved in 1 case? Jefferson and Adams County. So they can just get warrants with no proof? Judge signs this

I let a guy park his excavator in my yard, weeks later Arvada police find it in my yard. They let me go. Adams County issues a warrant for 18-4-401(1),(2)(H) . after detective said they would check my phone records for pings in area it was stolen (which I would guess it was stolen in Arvada since they were the ones that had consent to search and seize) and he would get back with me. Of course he did not and I was picked up on warrant. I think this is wrong. They have no proof I stole it because I did not. I have received nothing on this case and found out charge on internet. Oh and I have never been arrested for theft ever. Any advice you have would be very helpful. Thank you for your time.
You need to understand that "proof" is not needed to get a warrant---just the flimsiest basis for probable cause, including an accusation by anyone. Hey, if there is no proof, you will be exonerated. On the other hand, if there is a lot of proof, you will be convicted unless you make a deal first. You need to hire a criminal defense attorney or the public defender asap.
Stop, the first thing you need to to is get counsel, you will get nowhere without someone to help you on this case. Your counsel will be able to get discovery to see what they really have on you rather then speculating. Additionally, counsel can assist with the warrant as well. Depending on where it is counsel can contact the DA and arrange for you to surrender and potentially get a PR Bond which would cost you nothing rather then having to post a cash or surety bond. Use .com or contact one of the attorneys who took the time to answer your question (myself included).

It is not unusual for two police departments to be involved in the same investigation. It does not matter which county they are in. You need to hire a criminal defense attorney ASAP. Also get a bondsman lined up. An attorney can help you surrender on the warrant and possibly negotiate a favorable bond. The attorney will get the discovery and evaluate the DA's ability to prove the Theft charge.
