Officer Scott Lanner Arrested for Meancing and False Imprisonment


COLORADO SPRINGS

An employee of Colorado Springs Police has been arrested Friday for what police say stems from an off duty incident in Widefield on August 6th.

Police say 46-year-old Scott Alan Lanner drew his pistol on a man who was inspecting roofs for hail damage. Lanner was booked into the county jail on suspicion of menacing, a felony, and false imprisonment, a misdemeanor, according to jail records.

The report says Lanner came across Patrick Wilson, an employee of Claims Specialist International, working in his neighborhood. He ordered Wilson to leave the neighborhood because he did not have a permit althought they are not required for the work, the affidavit said. Lanner than drew his weapon on Wilson after he dropped his hands to his lap. Wilson was handcuffed and searched.

Colorado Springs Police say they will remain neutral as the charge plays through the judicial system. Lanner, who has worked for the CSPD since April of 1995, has been placed on un-paid administrative leave by the department until the case is resolved.

Police are planning an internal investigation into the matter after the judicial proceedings.
