A Glenwood Springs, Colorado police officer is facing multiple charges for felony sexual assault and a slew of other offenses. The charges are related to “alleged acts [that] occurred while the officer was off-duty” and outside of the city according to a news release.

Police Officer Sean Tatro was serving as a school resource officer when he allegedly committed the crimes. He is no longer on active duty and is currently being held in the Garfield County Jail on a $25,000 bond.

The officer has been charged with felony sexual assault, felony contributing to the delinquency of a minor, felony menacing, felony use of a stun gun in the commission of a crime, felony second-degree assault, misdemeanor harassment, misdemeanor third-degree assault, and misdemeanor reckless endangerment.

Glenwood Police Chief Joseph Deras said that if the charges are proven, “the administrative consequences from the city and the police department will be swift and deliberate.”

He also said the police department “is steadfast in our commitment to our community and to policing with integrity and compassion.

The victim of Tatro’s alleged crimes reported several instances of domestic violence between January and April of 2024.

During one incident reported in March 2024, the victim told investigators that she had been arguing with Tatro, who had been drinking, and that he used a stun gun on her left leg, the affidavit says.

A Silt Police Department officer also reported seeing Tatro, whom he recognized, driving his car recklessly around a woman attempting to walk away in the parking lot of Anytime Fitness at 800 Airport Road in Rifle in April 2023, the affidavit says.

The officer said he was given more information by another officer and determined Tatro was trying to intimidate the woman, which included driving around the parking lot several times while cutting between vehicles and through handicap signposts "so fast [the officer] was surprised Sean did not hit anything," the affidavit reads.

The woman told investigators that Tatro's behavior during that incident scared her and that she thought he was going to hit her, the affidavit says.

The victim told investigators she had smoked a significant amount of marijuana with Tatro, and that he said she better not report him because he has a way of passing drug tests, the affidavit says. The victim said he also told her, "no one would believe her if she reported any abuse or marijuana use that occurred because Sean was a cop."

Tatro denied the incident at Anytime Fitness took place and denied smoking marijuana, the affidavit says. He also denied using a stun gun on the victim, but said he accidentally "drove-stunned himself" a couple of times while testing the stun gun.

Roaring Forks Schools, where Tatro had worked as a school resource officer, noted that it had “no evidence that any students were unsafe or in danger at any time while Officer Tatro was operating in the role of SRO.”

Tatro is due back for another court appearance on May 14.
