Narrative/Flaten/07-02-12
The following report provides a summary of statements and/or reports. The author does not purport that this report contains all of the
facts and/or that the statements are verbatim. This report is not intended to take the place of original documents, statements, and/or
evidence.
Unless otherwise stated, all events described herein occurred in the City of Rifle, Garfield County, State of Colorado.
All information contained herein was obtained by my personal observations and/or information provided by other law enforcement
sources, unless otherwise noted.
Initial Information
On 06-26-12 at about 16:11 hours I, Officer Flaten, was dispatched to 323 Whiteriver Ave #2 in the City of Rifle, the County of
Garfield, and the State of Colorado for a disturbance.
Dispatch advised that the reporting party said he needed someone removed from his house and then dispatch heard a sound of a
struggle and the phone disconnected.
I arrived onscene with Officer VanTeylingen, Officer Bowen, and Sgt. Stewart.
Sgt. Stewart spoke with Hardy’s ex-boyfriend, John Owen (DOB 11-10-91), and Owen told him that he accidently broke Hardy’s cell
phone.
Dispatch also advised that there was a possible warrant for Owen’s arrest.
The warrant had a different date of birth, and did not have a social security number or license number and dispatch could not find out
which agency issued the warrant.
Due to the lack of information and inconsistencies on the warrant, I did not arrest or hold Owen on the warrant.
I transported Owen to the Rifle Police Department where he was held pending completion of paperwork.
Officer Bowen advised a victims advocate of the situation and gave Hardy a victim’s pamphlet.
I transported Owen to the Garfield County Jail where he was held on the following charges:
Domestic Violence CRS: 18-6-801
Criminal Mischief (under $500.00) CRS: 18-4-501(1) Class: M2
When I booked Owen into the Jail I mistakenly listed one of the charges as Violation of Protection Order instead of Domestic Violence.
I informed the jail staff of the possible warrant but told them we were not holding Owen on the warrant.
