Colton police investigate offi
Two police officers are on paid administrative leave while the Police Department completes an internal investigation involving allegations of using excessive force.
Department officials confirmed last week that officers Khristopher Guerrero and Julio Miranda are being investigated.
"The Colton Police Department takes all allegations of police misconduct seriously," said Lt. Bill Burrows, the department's spokesman.
The investigation stems from two incidents in which excessive force was allegedly used, department officials said.
The first incident involving Guerrero and Miranda was April 27, and the second was about two weeks later, said Richard Young, a prosecutor with the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office.
Burrows, citing privacy regulations, refused to comment on when the officers were placed on leave or the circumstances of the allegations.
Police Chief Bob Miller is also unable to comment on personnel actions, Burrows said.
At the request of the Police Department, the officers were investigated by the district attorney's Bureau of Investigation for the alleged use of excessive force, Young said.
That investigation ended Sept. 3 with no criminal charges being filed against the officers, Young said.
In an unrelated incident, Burrows also confirmed Code Enforcement Officer Tim Weathers has been placed on paid administrative leave.
Weathers is also the subject of an internal investigation that is not associated with the investigation of Guerrero and Miranda, Burrows said.
He declined to state why or how long Weathers has been placed on leave, citing privacy laws.
