Aurora cop fired and decertified after alleged intoxicated incidents

An Aurora police officer was fired and disqualified from law enforcement work this year after he was detained and arrested while allegedly under the influence in separate incidents.

Adams County Sheriff’s Office deputies first responded to a call for service at the home of Jason Stanfield-Parker, 33, in August, according to court documents and Aurora Police Department disciplinary records requested by the Post.

Deputies found Stanfield-Parker and his spouse intoxicated. His spouse was also found to be violating a protection order. When deputies tried to detain Stanfield-Parker for questioning, he “walked away and had to be physically taken into custody, resulting in an injury,” Aurora police wrote.

Stanfield-Parker was brought to a hospital and released on a summons for obstructing a peace officer.

While on paid administrative leave from the department, in September, Stanfield-Parker encountered law enforcement officers again outside of an Arapahoe County liquor store, where he almost caused a traffic crash while reversing out of a parking space.

He was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, and his breath-alcohol concentration was tested at 0.14%. He was also carrying a firearm at the time, Aurora police wrote.

The state’s public Peace Officer Standards and Training database indicates Stanfield-Parker was sentenced in the former case Oct. 25, resulting in his decertification March 13. He was charged with DUI and a traffic violation in the second case, pleading not guilty to both charges March 18.

Each incident also resulted in an internal affairs investigation — on Jan. 13, police Chief Todd Chamberlain upheld findings that Stanfield-Parker violated the department’s policies on off-duty firearm possession, conformance to law, conduct unbecoming and neglect of duty, firing him in each case.
