Disabled woman sues former Aurora officer and city

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — FOX31 is following new developments in a case involving an off-duty Aurora Police Officer accused of assaulting a disabled woman earlier this year. The victim’s attorneys say they have now filed a federal civil rights lawsuit.

The officer involved is no longer with the Aurora Police Department. Douglas Harroun resigned shortly after the incident and is now facing criminal charges, including assault by strangulation.

FOX31 cameras were rolling back in January as Harroun walked out of the Arapahoe County jail. The 32-year-old was arrested on Jan. 12 after deputies responded to an assault near an apartment complex in the 15900 block of East Briarwood Circle.
