PARKER, Colo. — A former Parker police sergeant who resigned amid an investigation in February was arrested Friday on unlawful sexual conduct and official misconduct charges.
The charges against former Sgt. Troy Brienzo stem from alleged incidents involving two adult victims, according a Monday press release from the Parker Police Department. He's been charged with two counts of felony unlawful sexual conduct by a peace officer, one count of misdemeanor unlawful sexual contact and four counts of misdemeanor official misconduct, according to the release.
Brienzo was put on administrative leave Jan. 7 after the department "learned of an alleged incident," and an outside law enforcement agency began conducting an investigation, an earlier release said. Brienzo resigned Feb. 13, according to the release.
"We recognize the seriousness of these charges and remain committed to transparency, accountability and maintaining the trust of the Parker community," the Monday release said. "As this is now an active criminal case, no further details will be released at this time."
He is set to appear in court April 13.
