DUI Trouble for Another Colorado Law Enforcement Officer

Tony Aragon, a 27 year veteran of the Fort Collins Police Department entered a guilty plea to driving while ability impaired (DWAI) in January of 2010. Mr. Aragon received an 18 month deferred judgment and sentence on the case. He retired from the Fort Collins police department and avoided any departmental discipline. This story did not come to the public’s attention until about two months ago.

The DWAI incident occurred on August 8, 2009. Mr. Aragon was apparently driving erratically and caught the attention of a sheriff’s deputy who initiated a traffic stop. Officer Aragon refused to complete roadside maneuvers. He did admit to consuming alcohol and submitted to a chemical test that showed a blood alcohol level of 0.081. Tony Aragon was charged with DUI, DUI per se, failing to signal and weaving.
