Deputy Henry Ford Arrested for Child Abuse

An Adams County sheriff’s deputy arrested on child abuse charges appeared in court on Tuesday to be formally charged.

Henry Ford, 37, is accused of sexually assaulting a child. The alleged incident happened in an unincorporated part of Adams County. Ford worked in the jail division and had been with the sheriff’s office for eight years.

Police do not believe there are any other victims.

Former Officer Alexis Robinson Arrested for Child Sex Crimes

A former police officer and head of security at a school district was arrested for multiple child sex crimes, now spanning two states.

Alexis Robinson, 51, was out on bond for sex assault charges in Kansas, when he was recently arrested by El Paso County deputies.

Robinson served as a police officer in Wichita, Kan. for 22 years. He retired as a sergeant in 2006. Then he signed on as a security supervisor with a school district in that community.

More than a year ago, police in Kansas started investigating Robinson for sexually assaulting several children after a 24-year-old man came forward saying he had been molested a decade earlier.

According to arrest papers, during that investigation detectives say an accuser in Colorado came forward, years after the alleged sex abuse. The papers say Robinson visited a family several times at their home in El Paso County in the 1990s. During those visits, the papers allege the suspect made the young boy watch pornographic movies and had him perform sexual acts.

Three victims came forward in Wichita and one has come forward in El Paso County. We are told they were all between the ages of 12 and 15 at the time of those alleged crimes.

Robinson is scheduled to be in court again later this week to discuss his bond.

Former Officer Alex Robinson Charged with Sexual Assault on Child

A former Wichita police officer and USD 259 security official is facing additional charges of child sex crimes, this time in Colorado.

This morning, 51-year-old Alex Robinson made his first court appearance in Colorado Springs. He was charged with two counts of sexual assault of a child in a position of trust.

The alleged crimes happened between June 1 and August 31 of 1996, while Robinson was visiting the state. The alleged victim was between 15 and 18 years old.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled for April 25.

Last week, Robinson made his first court appearance in Sedgwick County District Court facing similar charges:

Robinson was charged with two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy and three counts of aggravated indecent liberties in connection to crimes alleged to have occurred between 2000 and 2002. The victim in that case was 12 to 13 years old at the time.

He was also charged with aggravated indecent liberties with an 11-year-old that allegedly happened in June 2012.

Robinson is also facing two counts of indecent liberties with a 14-year-old, alleged to have occurred between August 2011 and September 2012.

He's scheduled to be back in court for a preliminary hearing in Sedgwick County on March 27.

Background:

Robinson was first arrested on similar charges in January of 2013 after a 24-year-old man came forward, alleging sex crimes that happened more than a decade prior when he was a juvenile. Crimes of that nature typically carry a 5-year statute of limitations, but Captain Brent Allred said last year that certain qualifiers could be met allowing charges to be filed in this case, several years after the statute expired.

He was free on bond until being arrested again this week.

Robinson was a 22-year veteran of the Wichita Police Department, retiring as a sergeant in 2006. He then took a job a security supervisor with Wichita Public Schools, but has not been back to work since his first arrest last year. A school district spokesperson said his employment is currently "under review."

Robinson was last interviewed by KAKE News in 2007 after receiving an award from then-President George W. Bush for volunteering more than 17,000 hours at the Boys and Girls Club.

Officer Bradley Bickett Arrested for Drunk Driving

An Aurora police officer who was arrested for drinking and driving and speeding in Wyoming early this month has resigned from the force, officials announced Monday.

Officer Bradley Bickett was arrested in Goshen County, Wyoming on Aug. 10 after witnesses reported him driving recklessly in his marked police cruiser while a passenger threw trash -possibly beer cans- from a window.

Gerald Kirby, also an Aurora officer, was cited for littering.

Both were on their way to the funeral for one of two officers who were recently killed in Rapid City, South Dakota.

"It is unfortunate that a 31-year career of service in law enforcement was destroyed by a single day of poor judgment," said Chief Daniel J. Oates of Bickett’s resignation.

"I thank Brad for his decision. He made the honorable choice to retire. He has accepted responsibility. His apology will mean a great deal to his colleagues in the Department and will help put this unfortunate event behind us.”"

Kirby is on restricted duty pending a full Internal Affairs investigation, police said.

Colorado officer retires after alleged wild ride

A suburban Denver police officer allowed to represent his department at a South Dakota lawman's funeral has retired after authorities say he and a fellow officer took an alcohol-fueled ride through Wyoming on their way to the service.


In his letter of retirement, Officer Bradley B. Bickett apologized for his conduct.

"I offer my most sincere apologies to the Aurora Police Department, the citizens of Aurora, and all of law enforcement for this incident," he wrote, according to a police statement.

Bickett could not be reached for comment.

He and Gerald Kirby were accused of speeding past traffic with their emergency lights flashing and tossing trash from a window on their way to the South Dakota funeral of a fallen police officer.

Their squad car was pulled over Wednesday after authorities say a volunteer firefighter spotted the car driving erratically on a state highway outside Torrington, Wyo., about 50 miles northeast of Cheyenne. Bickett was charged with driving while impaired, careless driving and speeding, while Kirby was charged with littering.
Aurora Police Chief Daniel Oates thanked Bickett for leaving the department.

"It is unfortunate that a 31-year career of service in law enforcement was destroyed by a single day of poor judgment. He made the honorable choice to retire," Oates said in his statement. "His apology will mean a great deal to his colleagues in the department and will help put this unfortunate event behind us."

Kirby remains on restricted duty pending a full internal affairs investigation.

Aurora police spokesman Bob Friel said Friday that Bickett and Kirby received permission to travel to Rapid City, S.D., to represent their department at a funeral for one of two officers killed in a shootout earlier this month. Bickett knew an officer in the South Dakota department, Friel said.

Goshen County Sheriff Donald J. Murphy said Bickett's blood-alcohol level tested at 0.08 percent, the level at which he said a driver is presumed to be under the influence. Another test determined later his level was 0.077 percent, Murphy said. A beer cooler was found in the back seat.

Bickett's speech was described as "slurred" in a booking report posted on the Goshen County Sheriff's Department website. He was released on his own recognizance early Thursday.

The funeral for the fallen officer, Nick Armstrong, 27, was held Thursday. The officers never made it to the funeral. Two Aurora police officers went to Wyoming to pick up Bickett and Kirby. They were immediately placed on desk duty pending an internal investigation.

Armstrong and Officer J. Ryan McCandless were killed in an Aug. 2 shootout that erupted while they were trying to question four men walking with an open alcohol container, Rapid City police spokeswoman Tarah Heupel said. A third officer, Tim Doyle, was hospitalized with multiple gunshot wounds.

Officer Jim Torrez Being Investigated in Shooting Death

The Platteville police officer who is being investigated for his role in the shooting death of a 30-year-old man last month was fired from his previous job as Frederick Police Chief.

In 2006, Frederick's town administrator Derek Todd accused Jim Torrez, 50, of using town resources to run his personal firearms-training business, Tactical Skills Institute, according to a Longmont Times-Call article dated June 20, 2006.

Torrez was terminated on March 20, 2006.

In the article, Todd said he cited Torrez with 12 personnel policy violations. He said some of those were related to his business and some were not. Todd did not elaborate on the other citations.

Torrez had been with the Frederick Police Department since 1993, according to the article. In the article, Todd said, "Many of these violations have taken place for many years."

Torrez is now an officer with the Platteville Police Department.

On Jan. 24 of this year, Torrez shot and killed Matt Herrera in a mobile home park in Platteville.

The shooting occurred after a brief car chase. Torrez told police that Herrera tried to run him over with his car, but Herrera's fiancée, who witnessed the shooting, says Herrera did nothing to provoke Torrez.

The Weld County District Attorney has asked a grand jury to review the report and decide if charges against Torrez are warranted.

He is currently on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

Former Officer Todd Vecellio Convicted of Sex Crimes Against Children

A former University of Colorado-Colorado Springs police officer was sentenced Thursday to two years to life in the Department of Corrections after being convicted in an Internet Crimes Against Children case.

Todd Vecellio was convicted of one count each of conspiracy to commit sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust, solicitation, criminal attempt to commit sexual assault on a child and enticement of a child by a jury in November.

He received concurrent sentences of two years to life on the conspiracy, solicitation and enticement charges and one year on the attempt to commit sexual assault charge.

District Judge David Thorson had ordered a pre-sentence investigation and psychosexual evaluation prior to sentencing. Vecellio refused to participate citing his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent.

Assistant District Attorney Kathy Eberling asked for the prison sentence because a sex offender should not be given the benefit of probation when they have not shown that they are amenable to treatment. An offender cannot participate in treatment if he remains in denial.

She added that this case was all the more abhorrent because Vecellio violated his position of trust as a police officer.

Vecellio’s defense attorney, Ted McClintock, said he believed the District Attorney was urging an unconstitutional policy standard.

He said his client intends to appeal his conviction and that any statements he makes prior to filing that appeal could be used against him in a subsequent retrial.

“They can’t force him to make an admission,” McClintock said. “That would decimate his constitutional right to appeal.”

Thorson said this would be a close case as to sentencing the defendant to probation or prison.

“I don’t second-guess the jury’s decision whatsoever,” he said.

He said Vecellio’s story after his arrest that he was conducting his own undercover investigation was very convenient once he got caught.

“Given the nature of the offence, I don’t see anything mitigating,” he said. “The defendant has basically said he’s not going to participate in treatment.”

Vecellio now has 45 days to file an appeal.

Former Officer Kachina McAlexander Found Guilty Of Firing Weapon at Police

A former Denver Police officer was found guilty on all counts on Thursday after she was accused of firing her handgun at local law enforcement officers in South Dakota.

Kachina McAlexander, who resigned from her job with DPD last April, was convicted of three counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and one count of reckless use of a firearm.

The jury deliberated for 3.5 hours on Thursday before returning a verdict.

Her trial began on Tuesday.

McAlexander was holed up in a Custer, S.D. motel room on March 24, 2009 when local officers arrived in response to a report that McAlexander might be suicidal.

The 10-year DPD veteran is accused of firing her weapon at the responding officers, none of whom was injured.

Attempted murder charges were initially filed but then thrown out nine months ago.

According to The Denver Post, McAlexander faced weapons charges in 2006 after firing at a television and at the walls of her home in Adams County. Like the March 24 incident, McAlexander was reportedly suicidal at the time.

A judge acquitted McAlexander of the charges and an appeal by prosecutors was not successful.

She is being held without bond at the Pennington County Jail while she waits for sentencing.

She could be sentenced to 25 years in prison for each of the assault counts, plus a $50,000 fine for each count. The reckless use of a firearm charge comes with a sentence of up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $2,000.

The clerk said a sentencing date had not been set.

Officer Kachina McAlexander Accused of Shooting at Officers

The jury trial has begun for a former Denver Police officer accused of firing her handgun at law enforcement officers in South Dakota.

Kachina McAlexander, who resigned from her DPD job last April, faces three counts of aggravated assault on a police officer and one count of reckless use of a firearm.

Her trial began Tuesday and was continuing Thursday, according to the Custer County court clerk's office.

McAlexander was holed up in a Custer motel room on March 24, 2009 when local officers arrived in response to a report that McAlexander might be suicidal.

The 10-year DPD veteran is accused of firing her weapon at the responding officers, none of whom was injured.

Attempted murder charges were initially filed but then thrown out nine months ago.

At the time, Custer County Sheriff Rick Wheeler expressed disappointment at the ruling.

"I really thought we would get a conviction," Wheeler, who had argued that his deputies' lives were clearly in danger during the incident, said.

McAlexander and her family have not returned repeated calls requesting comment.

According to The Denver Post, McAlexander faced weapons charges in 2006 after firing at a television and at the walls of her home in Adams County. Like the March 24 incident, McAlexander was reportedly suicidal at the time.

A judge acquitted McAlexander of the charges and an appeal by prosecutors was not successful.

A spokesperson for the Adams County District Attorney would not provide information on the case to 9NEWS saying the case information is sealed.

A 2009 request by 9NEWS to view McAlexander's Denver Police disciplinary file was rejected on the grounds that an internal investigation was either ongoing or imminent.

Denver Police declined to discuss McAlexander's situation on-camera after she was charged.

Officer Valerie McFarlane Attended Festival Without Paying Admission

A local attorney is questioning the credibility of an Aspen police officer who wore her uniform while off duty and attended the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day festival in September without paying for admission.

Attorney Lauren Maytin contends that Aspen police officer Valerie McFarlane’s “misconduct … is relevant, exculpatory and probative of truthfulness or the lack thereof” as it pertains to a drunken-driving arrest McFarlane made. Maytin, who represents the DUI defendant, filed a motion last week in that case requesting officer McFarlane’s personnel file.

“It is believed that the documents [in the file] will show that on or about Sept. 4 and Sept. 5 [2009], Officer McFarlane while off duty dressed in her Aspen Police Department uniform, trespassed onto the 2009 Jazz Aspen Labor Day Festival grounds by deceitfully ‘badging’ her way into the concert and failing to pay for admission,” according to Maytin’s motion. “This occurred two days in a row but on the second day, Officer McFarlane, again off duty but dressed in her APD uniform, returned to the festival with her boyfriend and children and flashed her badge to gain access for her group. Not only did she gain access to the festival on this second day by use of her badge but she also trespassed into the VIP section of the festival where she was able to obtain free food and libations for her group.”

In an interview Wednesday morning, McFarlane admitted to attending the Labor Day festival on two separate nights while wearing a uniform off duty and not paying, but she said the first night she went there after her shift ended to scout it out for her 14-year-old daughter who planned to attend the following evening. “I knew my daughter would be attending the concert,” she said. “I came, I looked, I left.” The second night she said she again entered the festival off duty and in uniform without paying for admission but that she was there to watch over her daughter and daughter’s boyfriend — both of whom McFarlane claims paid for admission.

“I stayed off to the side and waited for the concert to end,” she said. “I was there really to protect her. … I couldn’t even tell you who the headliners were.”

McFarlane confirmed that she moved her daughter and daughter’s boyfriend from the general admission section of the concert to the VIP area, but she said none of them ate or drank from the free banquets and bars available to only the festival’s highest-paying customers.

“I cannot tell you how deeply sorry I am,” McFarlane said, adding that she feels she hurt the department and the community. She added that her supervisors and fellow officers have been extremely supportive of her.

Aspen Police Chief Richard Pryor declined to discuss details of the incident or any disciplinary action that was taken, saying his “hands are tied” because it is a human resources/personnel issue. But he did say that another officer reported McFarlane’s misconduct. He also confirmed that unless they are commuting to and from work, officers are not allowed to wear uniforms off duty.

Maytin contends the incident casts serious doubt on McFarlane’s credibility as a police officer.

“Officer McFarlane did not pay for any of these admissions or for any of the services she received in the VIP section of the concert,” her motion states. “The total amount stolen from the Jazz Aspen Labor Day Festival is not known at this time but a rough estimate would be at least $2,000. It is believed Officer McFarlane was officially sanctioned by her superiors at the Aspen Police Department.”

Jazz Aspen Snowmass staff said they were unaware McFarlane appears to have illegally attended the show.

A motions hearing over whether Maytin can obtain access to McFarlane’s personnel file is scheduled for next week, but a ruling may not come until later.

Former Officer Bob Brabo Sentenced for Stealing from Department

A former Craig police officer has been sentenced to 48 hours of community service after pleading guilty to stealing about $500 from the departments drug task force.

Bob Brabo also received a one-year deferred sentence and was ordered to pay $484.50 in fines during a hearing Tuesday. Brabo resigned Nov. 5 and later pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor theft.

The money Brabo pleaded guilty to stealing was taken from drug funds from the department's All Crimes Enforcement Team.

The district attorney's office says Brabo received no special treatment and that his sentence is typical of first-time offenders charged with the same offense.

Former Officer Glenn Coyne Shoots Self

A former Grand Junction police officer accused of sexually assaulting a woman was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Jefferson County, authorities said.

The body of Glenn Coyne, 35, was found Tuesday afternoon at the Days Inn Hotel, 15059 W. Colfax Ave., according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

Coyne, who had recently posted bond in Mesa County after being arrested Oct. 1 on suspicion of first-degree sexual assault and first-degree burglary, was the lone occupant of the room, the Sheriff's Office said.

Coyne, who had been a Grand Junction officer for two years, was fired after his arrest.

He was accused of assaulting a woman who called him for follow-up help after Coyne and other officers went to her Grand Junction home on an unspecified family matter.

District Attorney Pete Hautzinger told The Associated Press that the investigation into allegations against Coyne remains active, and an affidavit remains sealed. He said there are no other suspects in the case.

Coyne is survived by his wife and two children.

Corrections Officer Daniel Vili Arrested for Sexual Assault on Minor

A Colorado corrections officer is suspected of supplying two teenage girls with alcohol, fondling them and then threatening a third girl.

Daniel Vili, 28, who has worked for the Colorado Department of Corrections since 2004 and was most recently a guard at the Camp George West correctional center in Golden, was arrested Friday in Loveland on suspicion of sexual assault on a child, unlawful sexual contact and contributing to the delinquency of minors, according to the Loveland Police Department.

Three teenage girls — ages 14, 15 and 16 — were "hanging out" on a lawn outside Vili's Loveland apartment Friday when he invited them inside, according to police. Vili gave alcohol to the two younger teens, and the 16-year-old declined it, police said.

Vili, who had been drinking, fondled both of the younger girls, the department said.

The 16-year-old urged her friends to leave and returned to the apartment to "confront" Vili, police said, when he "threatened to cut the throat" of the older girl.

Denver City Council May Settle Police Brutality Lawsuit

The Denver City Council may settle a police brutality lawsuit for $225,000, city officials said Monday.

The federal lawsuit alleges Denver police brutalized and repeatedly used a Taser on Alberto Romero, 47, who died, allegedly from injuries he sustained during the incident, The Denver Post reported. The confrontation took place in front of Romero's home July 16, 2007.

In the suit, Debra Christine Romero, the personal representative of his estate, claims Romero was unarmed and posed no threat to the police.

The settlement was on the agenda of the council meeting Monday.

The autopsy report showed Romero had eight broken ribs, four puncture wounds in his back and bottom, and multiple scratches and bruises on his face, arms, shoulders, stomach, knees, back, hands, fingers and left foot. In addition, his lower lip was split and his tongue was cut, the newspaper said.

Parole Officer Richard Riley Arrested for Sexual Assault

A Colorado Department of Corrections parole officer was arrested today on suspicion of sexual assault, Colorado Springs police said.

Richard L. Riley, 45, turned himself in at the police operations center.

Police said they had been investigating Riley for two months, but would not release details of the accusations against him.

Rilery has been a Senior Community Parole Officer for the DOC since 1998.

Shane Ledbetter Dies After Being Tasered

The man who was hospitalized after a violent struggle with Aurora police officers last week has died.

Shane Ledbetter, 38, ran from police on Thursday as they were arresting another man who was wanted on several arrest warrants including a felony, statewide extradition warrant.

Ledbetter ran through Mission Viejo Park and into a creek bed, where officers caught up with him.

Police said he was combative and resisted arrest so an officer shocked him with a Taser gun to subdue him. After he was shocked, Ledbetter became unresponsive and officers performed CPR while paramedics were called, said Aurora police spokeswoman Shannon Youngquist Lucy.

Ledbetter died early Sunday morning.

Ledbetter was wanted on several felony warrants including an escape warrant issued in Jefferson County in 2004.

The Arapahoe County Coroner's Office will perform an autopsy on Ledbetter early this week, but a final determination on his cause of death may take several weeks due to the amount of time it takes to get toxicology reports back, Lucy said.

As per policy in such an incident, detectives with the major crimes/homicide unit have been actively investigating the incident.

An Aurora patrol officer who was injured during the foot chase and arrest remains on medical leave. Investigators are uncertain when he will be well enough to speak with them, but hope to complete an interview later this week.

Detectives will turn over their report to the Arapahoe County District Attorney's Office when it is completed.

Officer Courtney Crooks Arrested for Harassment

The Mesa County Sheriff’s Department arrested a Grand Junction Police Department officer Friday afternoon on suspicion of misdemeanor harassment.

The Sheriff’s Department received an arrest warrant for police officer Courtney Crooks on Thursday, Mesa County District Attorney Pete Hautzinger said.

Crooks was not booked into Mesa County Jail. He has been placed on unpaid administrative leave, according to the Police Department.

In addition to the Sheriff’s Department’s criminal investigation, the Police Department is conducting two internal investigations that involve Crooks, according to a police spokeswoman Kate Porras.

“This is something we take very seriously, and we will make sure each allegation is thoroughly investigated. Once the facts are known we will take the appropriate action,” Police Chief Bill Gardner said in a news release.

Crooks was born in Hartford, Conn., attended Pensacola Christian College in Florida, received his associate degree in law enforcement in May 2006 and became a police cadet in Grand Junction two years ago, according to a June 2007 Police Department newsletter. He is 24 years old, according to his MySpace.com page.

An arrest affidavit was not immediately available Friday evening from the Sheriff’s Department.
The Police Department was not able to elaborate on the internal investigations Friday because they are considered a “personnel matter,” the news release said.

Officer Derrick Saunders Points Weapon on McDonalds Employee

A Denver police officer faces felony menacing and weapons charges based on an allegation he pointed a pistol to speed up his order at an Aurora McDonald's in May.

An employee at the McDonald's at 18181 E. Hampden Ave. told investigators two Denver police officers were waiting for their order at the drive-through window in the early-morning hours when Derrick Curtis Saunders, 29, grew impatient and pulled a weapon.

In addition to the menacing and weapons charges, Saunders is also charged with prohibited use of a weapon, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct, the Aurora Police Department said Monday.

Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said Saunders has been suspended with pay during the investigation, but would be put on unpaid leave once the department is formally notified of the charges.

Jackson said neither he nor Police Chief Gerald Whitman would comment on the case.

"It would be inappropriate for us to make any comment about another department's case, especially an ongoing, active investigation," Jackson said.

Saunders was most recently assigned to Denver International Airport. His booking photograph was not available from Aurora police Monday.

Officer Kevin Osborne Arrested for Cocaine & Marijuana

A Denver police officer has resigned from the force after he was investigated on suspicion of using cocaine and marijuana.

Kevin Osborne, who was assigned to the police information desk, became a target of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which believed Osborne was getting drugs while frequenting a house in Lakewood. Osborne learned the FBI was at the house one night last month and visited to find out what was going on, driving an unmarked Denver police car there, a person familiar with the investigation said.

Federal authorities confronted him at the house, and Osborne fled in the vehicle, prompting authorities to chase him.

He resigned from the Denver police force June 24 after federal authorities told him that if he did not do so, they would pursue criminal charges, people close to the investigation confirm.

Kathy Wright, a spokeswoman with the FBI, and Jeff Dorschner, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Denver, declined comment. Osborne's lawyer, Michael Lowe, also declined comment.

Denver Safety Manager Al LaCabe said he was not aware of the details that led to a decision not to criminally charge Osborne. He said that the Police Department brought an end to an internal affairs investigation into Osborne's activities after Osborne resigned.

It was not the first time Osborne had been in trouble at the Police Department. In 2004, LaCabe suspended Osborne for 18 days and ordered him to work four days without pay for false reporting, failing to obey an order and "departing from the truth" in connection with an affair with an intern.
