Aurora officer facing felony charges in arrest resigns


An Aurora police officer facing assault and felony menacing charges in the arrest of a man shown on body cam footage has resigned.

Aurora police said in a statement that John Haubert submitted his letter of resignation to police Chief Vanessa Wilson Thursday. The internal affairs investigation into Haubert’s actions during the July 23 arrest will continue.

Haubert faces three felony charges — attempted first-degree assault, second-degree assault and felony menacing — as well as misdemeanor charges of official oppression and official misconduct in connection to the arrest.

Although Haubert has resigned, Wilson will still issue a decision on whether he violated department directives and will say what discipline he would have received.
