Denver
police officer has been jailed on nine charges — including child abuse,
domestic violence and a weapons charge — filed by the Thornton Police
Department, officials said Monday.
Daniel
Diaz Deleon, 42, was arrested for harassment, obstructing a peace officer,
resisting arrest, domestic violence, child abuse, criminal mischief, false
imprisonment, reckless endangerment and prohibited use of weapons, according to
Adams County Jail records.
Documents
related to the weekend arrest were not immediately available.
Deleon
was being held on $5,000 bail.
Deleon
has been ordered to speak with his commanders, said department spokesman Sonny
Jackson.
Once
that meeting happens, the command staff will decide how to handle his
employment status, Jackson said.
Most
likely, Deleon will be put on desk duty while the charges are pending, said
Detective Mary McIver, a department spokeswoman.
Deleon,
a detective who was hired in 2004, is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday.
Thornton
police were dispatched at 11:53 p.m. Saturday to a domestic violence in
progress call on the 900 block of Thorncreek Court.
As
officers arrived, they heard gunshots inside the house. A dispatcher was able
to contact Deleon inside. He then came outside, where he was arrested, said
Thornton Officer Matt Barnes, a department spokesman.
