A deputy at the Larimer County jail resigned Friday, the same day he was issued a summons charging him with using excessive force while booking a prisoner.

According to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, the departing officer, Simon Suarez, was a five-year veteran of the force.

On July 20, an inmate in the Larimer County Jail alleged that a correctional deputy had used excessive force against him while he was being escorted to the booking area for additional processing. A review of the complaint was initiated and the deputy placed on paid administrative leave.

After the initial review, the case was turned over to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division and then to the Larimer County district attorney’s office for a final review. Friday, a summons was issued against Suarez for official oppression, a misdemeanor offense.
