A Denver police officer will serve a 60-day suspension after he called in sick to work, attended a lacrosse game, went to a bar and was involved in a car crash.

Eric Sellers, 55, was one of three Denver officers arrested during a three-week period in 2015. He was one of two arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

On Feb. 13, 2015, Sellers called in sick after attending two medical appointments, according to a copy of his disciplinary letter obtained by The Denver Post. But he attended a Colorado Mammoth game and did not inform his commander about where he would be, a violation of department policy.

After the game, Sellers went to a bar. On his way home, he wrecked his car, causing it to roll over. Sellers suffered serious injuries and was hospitalized. His blood alcohol level was .054 more than three hours after the wreck, the Feb. 9 disciplinary letter said. He also had a gun in the car.

Sellers was found guilty of careless driving in December in Arapahoe County. But Denver’s Department of Public Safety determined that he broke department rules because he had violated state law by driving while he was impaired.

“In engaging in this behavior, Officer Sellers violated this departmental rule, because at the time of this dangerous driving behavior, his ability to ‘exercise clear judgment, sufficient physical control, or due care in the safe operation of a vehicle’ was impaired by the alcohol he had consumed,” the letter said.

Sellers, who has been with the department since 1995, previously has been in trouble in excessive-force cases.

Sellers was suspended for 40 days for a 2008 case where he beat up Brighton firefighter Jared Lunn. The city paid $45,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by Lunn.

The case caused a public uproar because people thought the discipline was too light, and the safety manager resigned, in part, because of the controversy.

Sellers was fined 16 hours of pay in 2011 for a 2-year-old case where he got into a scrap while working a private security detail at a LoDo night club. In that case, he failed to file a use-of-force report and did not notify a supervisor that a suspect had been injured during an arrest.

In another disciplinary case involving a Denver officer, Detective Jay Spitzer was suspended for 18 days after he took a utility trailer from a District 5 storage lot for his personal use and sold it on Craigslist for $150.

The city’s facilities, planning and management operations office noticed the trailer was missing during a July inventory of property, his Feb. 11 disciplinary letter said.

Spitzer’s suspension was lowered because the trailer was in poor condition when he took it and because he had offered to purchase another for the city. The offer was refused, the letter said.

Spitzer has been with the department since 2000. He will serve his suspension between March 20 and April 6, his disciplinary letter said.
