Guzman was arrested Wednesday in Adams County for third-degree assault — domestic violence. Since the charge is a misdemeanor, he was suspended with pay pending the outcome of the case, according to Denver police.

Denver PD will also conduct an internal investigation once the case is adjudicated in the courts, per standard protocol.
