DENVER – A longtime Denver Police Department detective resigned in late November following an internal affairs investigation that started in May when he came to a meeting under the influence of prescription narcotics.

Det. Daniel Wiley resigned from the department on Nov. 23, according to records obtained from DPD by Denver7.

A copy of the internal affairs investigation provided to Denver7 says several officers attending a May 23 Fugitive Task Force meeting noticed Wiley’s “speech was slow and slurred” and that he appeared “barely coherent.”

Denver Police Department rules require any officers who believe another officer is working under the influence of drugs or alcohol to report to their supervisor. Likewise, any officers taking prescription drugs are required to tell their superiors.

Two officers took Wiley to the Occupation Health Medical Clinic, where a urine test came up positive for opiates, according to the investigation.

Once back at the station, Wiley was accompanied to his patrol car to retrieve his belongings since he was to be suspended from driving.

While getting things out of the vehicle, he pulled out an Advil bottle that the accompanying officer asked to look at. Inside, the officer found “at least four” different types of pills. Some of them were later identified as Hydrocodone, Percocet and Xanax.

Wiley admitted to investigators he had taken Xanax the night before and when he arrived to work that day, but said “he does not consider himself addicted,” according to the internal affairs report. He admitted to also taking Percocet that day.

He eventually told investigators he had gotten the pills illegally from his niece, and pointed to a bicep injury from the year before – for which he was originally prescribed painkillers but said he continued to suffer pain from — and a recent divorce as reasons for getting the pills.

“I had a very tough time functioning and I just wanted to make it through the day,” Wiley told investigators, according to the report.

Wiley resigned prior to any disciplinary action. Some portions of the internal affairs summary provided to Denver7 was heavily redacted.

No charges related to that instance of drug possession have been brought forth so far.

GREELEY, Colo. – A woman convicted in October of two counts of vehicular homicide stemming from a 2015 crash will serve 12 years of probation and have to perform at least 100 community tasks in lieu of prison time.

Nacole Lee Grim, 30, was paralyzed from the neck down in the crash, which happened in April 2015. She was speeding in the left lane of I-25 and got into a road rage incident with another driver.

She drifted into the right lane, overcorrected, and went into oncoming traffic.

Thirty-nine-year-old Andrea Weiss, of Fort Collins, and 34-year-old Dang Manhkhong, of Parker, died in separate vehicles when Grim crashed into them.

Grim faced 24 years in prison at Friday’s sentencing. But Judge Shannon Lyons handed down a unique sentence that does not include prison time instead.

Since Grim is paralyzed from the neck down, Judge Lyons said sending her to prison would not be beneficial for her or the state, as she requires round-the-clock medical attention. But he also said the probation was “not enough,” according to the Weld County District Attorney’s Office.

He handed her a sentence of 12 years of supervised probation instead, and also ordered her to perform at least 100 presentations to the community about the crash and the victims.

Grim will have to speak to every Weld County high school about the case and about road rage, and she will have to work with the district attorney’s office to produce a public service announcement.

Several of the victims’ family members testified at Grim’s sentencing.

“Her [Manhkhong] life was taken away unexpectedly and undeserved,” said Manhkhong’s sister, Linda Manhkhong. “The loss has sent shockwaves through my family. We’re still grieving, and without question, there will always be a void in our hearts.”

“Andrea had such a big heart,” said Weiss’ partner, Linda Thomas. “But she always felt if you created a problem, you must be held accountable. I hope from here we can all heal. I loss the light that was my life. I can never get it back, and now my mission is to find me again.”

She was convicted in October of two counts of vehicular homicide caused by reckless driving and one count of recklessly causing third-degree assault.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The assistant manager at a Family Dollar Store in Colorado Springs is in custody after allegedly robbing the store he works at.

Martellius Bryant, 30, and Alejandro Pablo, 21, are accused of using duct tape to bind two of the store’s employees and robbing the store, located in the 1700 block of South Circle Drive.

The robbery happened Wednesday around 9:40 p.m. When officers arrived, they found the two employees bound and fresh footprints in the snow that led to an empty parking spot.

Officers determined the suspects had gotten into a car and left the scene. One of the victims, who police said was “very articulate,” was able to give officers “detailed” descriptions of the suspects – which led officers to Bryant and Pablo.

Colorado Springs police say Bryant eventually returned to the store, where he was arrested.

Police were able to obtain a search warrant for the suspects’ home, and upon searching they found all of the items and cash taken in the robbery. Pablo was arrested at the home.

The police department commended its officers “for their attention to the small details” that led to the identification of Bryant and Pablo and their subsequent arrests.

The two men’s mug shots were not immediately available Friday morning.

ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. – Ten alleged meth and cocaine dealers face organized crime and racketeering charges after their arrests following a year-long investigation in Denver and Aurora.

AURORA, Colo. – The man accused of setting off an Amber Alert after he allegedly kidnapped a woman and her son was captured by law enforcement authorities Wednesday afternoon in Boulder, and the woman and her son are OK.

Police say Brenda Sanchez and her young son, Ivan, were kidnapped at gunpoint from a home in Denver around 8:35 a.m. but did not say from where in Denver. They said the incident was called in by Sanchez’s sister.

The Aurora Police Department called the situation an Amber Alert in an 11:27 a.m. post on social media, though the official Amber Alert was not issued until just before 1:30 p.m.

#AMBERAlert: Today at approximately 8:35 a.m. the Denver Police Department​ received a report of the below shown… https://t.co/arlLDRYtr2

— Aurora Police Dept (@AuroraPD) December 7, 2016

Police say the suspect is Sergio Martinez, 21, who is described as a Hispanic male who is 5-foot-7 and 180 pounds with a goatee and short brown hair.

Court records show Martinez has prior driving under the influence convictions and a robbery conviction. He was charged in 2012 for kidnapping with intent to commit sexual assault, but the charges were dismissed by the district attorney.

He was most-recently arrested by Fort Morgan police on Oct. 29 on kidnapping, assault and false imprisonment charges. He pleaded guilty to third-degree assault charges in exchange for the other charges being dismissed.

The department did say they had talked with family members of Sanchez’s at a home in Aurora Wednesday morning.

While they were talking with them, officers received reports of a hit-and-run crash at Smoky Hill and South Buckley involving a white 2013 Subaru Legacy, with Colorado plate QIZ-384, which is registered to the suspect.

Aurora police said at 2:25 p.m. the vehicle was located in Boulder and Martinez was taken into custody. They said both Sanchez and Ivan are OK and that the investigation remains ongoing. The Amber Alert was canceled shortly afterward.

Denver7’s news partners at the Boulder Daily Camera said the vehicle was found near the Wendy’s on Baseline.

Aurora police say Sanchez was medically evaluated for minor injuries, but Ivan had no injuries.

Crystal McCoy, the spokeswoman for APD, said Sanchez and Martinez used to be in a relationship but had broken up. Martinez is not Ivan’s biological father, and it’s still unclear what led up to the kidnapping.

McCoy said Martinez ran about 100 yards from police before he was caught in Boulder. She said officers are still looking for the weapon allegedly involved in the kidnapping and that charges won’t be determined until Wednesday night or Thursday morning. She also said Aurora police’s fugitive team caught the suspect.

Statewide Amber Alert

Two hours after police first tweeted about the Amber Alert, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sent out a statewide alert.

“There were a number of different incidents taking place, multiple agencies — there was a lot of moving parts associated with this case,” said Susan Medina a spokesperson for CBI.

Denver7 asked Medina why it took several hours for CBI to send out the alert.

“I know time is of the essence, but at the same time when you use an Amber Alert system that blasts statewide it is critical that, that information is fully vetted,” she said.

Medina explained that in order for an Amber Alert to be sent out, a law enforcement agency must contact CBI.

The case also must meet three specific requirements: the child has to be under 18, be in immediate danger of serious injury, and have enough descriptive information — like a car or license plate number — to send out.

“We have to ensure that the information is correct,” said Medina.

In this case, she said it’s still unclear if any mistakes were made or if the alert could have been pushed out sooner.

“It’s a little too early to say specifically in this one, but we’re going to bring everybody to the table and we’re going to discuss this in the future,” said Medina.

AURORA, Colo. – The professional gamer who died along with a passenger in an October crash was still well over the legal driving limit even after receiving more than eight pints worth of blood and plasma transfusions.

The Aurora Police Department on Tuesday released their final report on the crash that killed 24-year-old Phillip Klemenov, of Aurora, and 27-year-old Marcelous Johnson, of Colorado Springs, which happened early Oct. 2.

The report says Klemenov was driving the Infiniti G35 that morning, while Johnson and Klemenov’s girlfriend, 18-year-old Adrianna Lemus, were passengers.

Lemus told investigators the three had been drinking “all evening and into the morning” at various places in Denver before the crash, which happened on Florida Avenue near South Dayton Street.

The crash report says Klemenov was driving at 73.6 miles per hour in a 35 mile per hour zone when he crashed, going up a curb and hitting several trees and a light pole as it rolled over. Several of the trees went through the front of the cabin, where Klemenov and Johnson were seated.

The report says Johnson died at the scene. Klemenov was taken to a Denver-area hospital.

Just before 4 a.m. – about an hour after the crash and after Klemenov had been given eight units of blood and four units of plasma – a blood draw was performed.

It showed Klemenov’s blood alcohol content level at that time was 0.139 percent – well over the 0.08 percent legal limit.

The report says Klemenov would have been charged with driving under the influence had he survived, but he died at the hospital.

DENVER – A Los Angeles judge on Tuesday granted a preliminary injunction barring a woman from releasing a sex tape purportedly involving Denver Broncos star linebacker Von Miller.

Clerks at the Los Angeles Superior Court confirmed to Denver7 judges granted a preliminary injunction and motion to seal evidence in the case, which involves a sex tape a woman named Elizabeth Ruiz made with “John Doe,” whom TMZ and The Smoking Gun have said is Miller.

The orders mean Ruiz will have to turn over the original video and any copies made within three days and that she and other plaintiffs in the case will be barred from ever showing the video while the injunction is in place. Evidence in the case will also remain sealed.

Attorneys for Doe — who include known Miller lawyers and associates Andrew Kim, Matthew Johnson and Martin Singer – filed the motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction on the video Nov. 7. A permanent restraining order was also sought in that filing.

A judge had already granted the temporary restraining order barring the video’s release and ordered the video be held in the court’s possession while things were sorted out, but the preliminary injunction is a less-temporary order.

The case went to court after Ruiz’s legal team requested “Doe” pay $2.5 million to prevent the release of the video, which was apparently made while both were on a trip in Cancun in June.

The injunction was sought in regards to a section of California’s Civil Code that bars people from releasing recordings that a party would have had “a reasonable expectation that the material would remain private” or “exposes…the other person engaging in an act of intercourse…”

Neither Miller, nor his lawyers or associates have commented on the case, nor have they confirmed that Miller is indeed “John Doe.”

There are no pending court dates on the docket following Tuesday’s hearings, but Denver7 will update this story with any new information.

EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. – The county sheriff’s office on Tuesday released images of a new reconstruction of the head and face of a man whose remains were found near Midway Ranch in 1986.

The man’s facial reconstruction is the second done since his remains were found; the first reconstruction was finished in 1987.

The sheriff’s office says the remains were found four miles west of I-25 near Midway Ranch on Nov. 3, 1986 just after 11 a.m.

The man, who is referred to as “John Doe” in the report because he has never been identified, was wearing Calvin Klein blue jeans size 30/33, a blue-green sweatshirt and a brown leather belt.

Forensic investigators have found the man was white, between 5-foot-4 and 5-foot-7 tall and between 30 and 40 years old. He had a “deep overbite,” according to the sheriff’s office

The sheriff’s office said investigators determined his remains had been where they were found for between one and four years when they were discovered. It says investigators have searched through missing persons reports from across the state and never identified the man.

Anyone who thinks they may have information that could lead to the man’s identification is asked to call El Paso County Detective Jeff Nohr at 719-520-7225.
