DENVER – A longtime Denver Police Department detective resigned in late November following an internal affairs investigation that started in May when he came to a meeting under the influence of prescription narcotics.

Det. Daniel Wiley resigned from the department on Nov. 23, according to records obtained from DPD by Denver7.

A copy of the internal affairs investigation provided to Denver7 says several officers attending a May 23 Fugitive Task Force meeting noticed Wiley’s “speech was slow and slurred” and that he appeared “barely coherent.”

Denver Police Department rules require any officers who believe another officer is working under the influence of drugs or alcohol to report to their supervisor. Likewise, any officers taking prescription drugs are required to tell their superiors.

Two officers took Wiley to the Occupation Health Medical Clinic, where a urine test came up positive for opiates, according to the investigation.

Once back at the station, Wiley was accompanied to his patrol car to retrieve his belongings since he was to be suspended from driving.

While getting things out of the vehicle, he pulled out an Advil bottle that the accompanying officer asked to look at. Inside, the officer found “at least four” different types of pills. Some of them were later identified as Hydrocodone, Percocet and Xanax.

Wiley admitted to investigators he had taken Xanax the night before and when he arrived to work that day, but said “he does not consider himself addicted,” according to the internal affairs report. He admitted to also taking Percocet that day.

He eventually told investigators he had gotten the pills illegally from his niece, and pointed to a bicep injury from the year before – for which he was originally prescribed painkillers but said he continued to suffer pain from — and a recent divorce as reasons for getting the pills.

“I had a very tough time functioning and I just wanted to make it through the day,” Wiley told investigators, according to the report.

Wiley resigned prior to any disciplinary action. Some portions of the internal affairs summary provided to Denver7 was heavily redacted.

No charges related to that instance of drug possession have been brought forth so far.

GREELEY, Colo. – A woman convicted in October of two counts of vehicular homicide stemming from a 2015 crash will serve 12 years of probation and have to perform at least 100 community tasks in lieu of prison time.

Nacole Lee Grim, 30, was paralyzed from the neck down in the crash, which happened in April 2015. She was speeding in the left lane of I-25 and got into a road rage incident with another driver.

She drifted into the right lane, overcorrected, and went into oncoming traffic.

Thirty-nine-year-old Andrea Weiss, of Fort Collins, and 34-year-old Dang Manhkhong, of Parker, died in separate vehicles when Grim crashed into them.

Grim faced 24 years in prison at Friday’s sentencing. But Judge Shannon Lyons handed down a unique sentence that does not include prison time instead.

Since Grim is paralyzed from the neck down, Judge Lyons said sending her to prison would not be beneficial for her or the state, as she requires round-the-clock medical attention. But he also said the probation was “not enough,” according to the Weld County District Attorney’s Office.

He handed her a sentence of 12 years of supervised probation instead, and also ordered her to perform at least 100 presentations to the community about the crash and the victims.

Grim will have to speak to every Weld County high school about the case and about road rage, and she will have to work with the district attorney’s office to produce a public service announcement.

Several of the victims’ family members testified at Grim’s sentencing.

“Her [Manhkhong] life was taken away unexpectedly and undeserved,” said Manhkhong’s sister, Linda Manhkhong. “The loss has sent shockwaves through my family. We’re still grieving, and without question, there will always be a void in our hearts.”

“Andrea had such a big heart,” said Weiss’ partner, Linda Thomas. “But she always felt if you created a problem, you must be held accountable. I hope from here we can all heal. I loss the light that was my life. I can never get it back, and now my mission is to find me again.”

She was convicted in October of two counts of vehicular homicide caused by reckless driving and one count of recklessly causing third-degree assault.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The assistant manager at a Family Dollar Store in Colorado Springs is in custody after allegedly robbing the store he works at.

Martellius Bryant, 30, and Alejandro Pablo, 21, are accused of using duct tape to bind two of the store’s employees and robbing the store, located in the 1700 block of South Circle Drive.

The robbery happened Wednesday around 9:40 p.m. When officers arrived, they found the two employees bound and fresh footprints in the snow that led to an empty parking spot.

Officers determined the suspects had gotten into a car and left the scene. One of the victims, who police said was “very articulate,” was able to give officers “detailed” descriptions of the suspects – which led officers to Bryant and Pablo.

Colorado Springs police say Bryant eventually returned to the store, where he was arrested.

Police were able to obtain a search warrant for the suspects’ home, and upon searching they found all of the items and cash taken in the robbery. Pablo was arrested at the home.

The police department commended its officers “for their attention to the small details” that led to the identification of Bryant and Pablo and their subsequent arrests.

The two men’s mug shots were not immediately available Friday morning.
