Denver Parks and Recreation officials said Guney’s actions caused thousands of dollars in damages to the floor at the expense of taxpayers, according to the DA’s news release. District Attorney Beth McCann said Tuesday that she’s optimistic that the incident can be resolved without criminal charges. “My office has not charged Mr. Arslan Guney with any criminal counts regarding the pickleball incident with Denver Parks and Recreation,” McCann said in a statement. “At my suggestion, the parties will attempt to resolve this matter through mediation with a city mediator. I am optimistic that by sitting down and working out a mutually-agreeable solution, this matter can be solved amicably.”
