Police: Denver officer’s body
camera caught him stealing
clothing. It shows him finding a
stack of cash with a $100 bill on
top, according to the arrest re-
port.
2004, has been suspended with-
out pay, police officials said. The
department refused to release
the body camera footage, citing
it as evidence in the ongoing
criminal case.
After Archuleta was called
into internal affairs, he contact-
ed a police union representative
to let him know he was being in-
vestigated for theft. The police
report says he offered to “check
his war bag” to make sure the
missing money hadn’t slipped
into a crevice in the suspect’s car.
Archuleta contacted the union
representative again an hour lat-
er to say he had found $1,200
that “must have fallen in his
bag,” the report says.
He then turned the money
over to internal affairs.

DENVER — A Denver police
officer was arrested Friday after
his own body camera captured
him stealing $1,200 from a sus-
pect at a crime scene, court doc-
uments show.
Officer Julian Archuleta, 48,
can be seen in the footage taking
cash from the suspect’s clothing
after it was removed by para-
medics during an Oct. 7 shoot-
ing investigation, according to
an arrest affidavit. The officer
had been called to take photo-
graphs of the scene and the sus-
pect’s vehicle, which had
crashed during a pursuit.
Archuleta’s body camera was
on for more than 24 minutes as
he searched the suspect’s car and
*
But police say a detective
who collected the cash and
logged it as evidence found no
$100 bills, and Archuleta made
no note of a $100 bill in his writ-
ten account of the crime scene.
The detective reviewed Archule-
ta’s body camera footage and
contacted internal affairs, the re-
port says.
Archuleta faces charges of
theft, official misconduct and
tampering with physical evi-
dence. He was being held in jail
Friday. Court records don’t list
an attorney who could comment
on his behalf.

Sex offender registries
do little to curb crime

TOLEDO, Ohio — In the
desperate hours after a Universi-
ty of Toledo student disappeared
while bicycling this summer, her
friends scanned the state’s list of
sex offenders and started knock-
ing on doors. But their search
didn’t lead them down the road
to an ex-con who had spent time
in prison for abducting another
woman — because he had never
been convicted of a sex crime.
Now the family of Sierah
Joughin, who investigators say
was abducted and killed by a
neighbor with a hidden past,
wants Ohio lawmakers to follow
the lead of at least seven other
states that track all sorts of vio-
lent offenders.
“If you’re trying to get back in
society and you’re trying to be a
productive member of society,
you have to own what you did,”
said Joughin’s mother, Sheila
Vaculik. “You’re there for a rea-
son, and you put yourself there
for a reason.”
The emotional pull of crimes
that spawned sex offender regis-
tries in the 1990s has brought
about these more publicly acces-
sible lists that keep tabs on a
wider range of offenders — from
murderers to meth users — once
they’re out of prison. A nation-
wide review by The Associated
Press found that such registries
have grown over the past decade
and that more proposals are be-
ing considered.
Backers say helping people
know more about their neigh-
bors will make them safer. Yet
studies have shown offender
registries do little to reduce
crime.
Anti-domestic
groups in states that have con-
sidered expanded registries sug-
gest that money spent to main-
tain them would be better used
on programs to stop violence be-
fore it happens. Keeping sex of-
fender lists updated alone costs
well over $1 million each year for
many states, a price partially
covered by fees offenders must

Some researchers contend
the lists, searchable online, can
prevent offenders from finding
jobs and homes, making it more
likely they’ll offend again.
“When someone comes out
of prison, we want them to be
successful,” said Alissa Acker-
man, a criminal justice professor
at the University of Washington.
‘We want them to be part of so-
ciety. Putting people on regis-
tries like this makes it next to
impossible to do.”
Vincent Brumley, who was
released from an Illinois prison
in 2015 after serving 27 years for
his role with two others who kid-
napped and killed a man, said
few employers will give him a
chance after he tells them of his
past and they learn he’s on the
state’s registry.
“That’s all they see me as,” he
said. “They don’t know what I
was convicted of, or if I was
guilty. I did my time. Why hold
me back?”
Some registries track only
people convicted of murder or
violent crimes against children.
Montana first expanded its list
to add non-sex offenders in 1995
and now includes those convict-
ed of murder, aggravated as-
sault, assault with a weapon,
and arson.
Prosecutors plan to pursue
the death penalty against James
Worley, the ex-con who has
pleaded not guilty to killing
Joughin, 20, and is scheduled to
go on trial next year. He and his
attorneys have declined to com-
ment.

Vaculik doubts a registry
would have saved her daughter,
but thinks it might protect
someone else and remove some
of the fear her neighbors now
have in their everyday lives.
“That’s not how I want to
live,” she said. “But I do want to
be informed.”
