GREELEY, Colo.—Greeley police have arrested an officer accused of inappropriately touching a 19-year-old woman during a pat-down search.
Police Chief Jerry Garner says 28-year-old Daniel Shepherd pulled the woman over around 5:15 a.m. March 13 after police were called to a party she had attended. Garner says others at the party said she was too drunk and needed to leave. Investigators allege Shepherd pulled her over after following her from the party.
Shepherd is on administrative leave. He was arrested Friday on suspicion of felony sexual assault and official oppression. His bond was set at $50,000.
Shepherd has an unlisted phone number, and it wasn’t known if he has an attorney who could comment on his behalf.
