Denver deputy’s arrest tied to domestic violence at Colorado Springs home, police say

A Denver jail deputy arrested after a domestic violence incident is accused of pulling a gun, threatening to harm the man his wife was seeing and destroying a computer and iPad, according to a Colorado Springs Police Department arrest affidavit.

Darrel Killebrew, 33, was arrested on suspicion of felony menacing, assault, child abuse, criminal mischief and criminal tampering after officers were called to his home late Monday night.

According to the affidavit, Killebrew began fighting with his wife — who had started divorce proceedings in April — after finding out she was cheating on him.

Killebrew took her computer and iPad and refused to return them, then ordered her to call the other man, saying “Trust me, I got something coming for him” while drawing a gun from his waistband.

The two fought, and Killebrew tossed the gun on the couch and knocked the woman to the floor before taking the devices into the kitchen and repeatedly slamming them onto the corner of the kitchen island, investigators wrote in the arrest report.

When she went to get her purse from her vehicle, Killebrew knocked it out of her hands and later removed the internet router and hid it.

Killebrew was released from the El Paso County Jail on a $4,000 bail and is set to appear in court Tuesday. The Denver Sheriff Department put him on investigative leave Wednesday.
