Affidavit says officer harassed ex-girlfriend

- By Katie Langford klangford@denverpost.com

A Denver police officer charged with harassing his ex-girlfriend followed her around, implied he could interfere with her Child Protective Services case and threatened to file anonymous reports about her boyfriend after the woman reported him to police, according to an arrest affidavit.

Ramone “Razor” Young, 52, was arrested March 21 by the Aurora Police Department on two counts of misdemeano­r harassment. Young was hired in 2013 and most recently worked in the patrol division, but he was placed on a nonpatrol assignment after his arrest.

The woman told police she saw Young’s car parked outside her workplace in Aurora on March 8 and that it sped off when she kissed her boyfriend goodbye.

The woman noticed a car following her when she left work that night. When she pulled off the road to let the car pass, Young pulled up next to her and demanded she let him in the car.

“Young told her to stop talking with police and she needed to not go through with the investigat­ion. Young also told (the woman) that he told her he had gotten away with ‘this’ before,” Aurora police wrote in the arrest affidavit.

After the woman told Young to stay with his wife because she didn’t want anything to do with him, Young asked the woman if she wanted to make sure everything went well with her Child Protective Services case.

He also claimed he would start making anonymous reports about her boyfriend to get him in trouble, according to the affidavit.

Young initially refused to get out of the woman’s car, then later got out and pulled the woman out of the driver’s seat, forced her to hug him and tried to kiss her while she was crying and struggling, according to the affidavit.

The woman told police that she did whatever Young told her to do because they met shortly after she got out of prison and she didn’t want to go back to jail.

Young denied the allegation­s when contacted by police.

He is set to appear in court on April 23.
