The accused, Denver financial advisor Chrisanna Elser, compiled her own digital evidence—including timestamped footage from her Rivian truck and nearby business cameras—and located footage of the actual suspect on Nextdoor.
After reviewing her evidence, the police chief officially voided the summons. The involved sergeant received a formal letter of reprimand and mandatory retraining for being rude, dismissive, and failing to de-escalate.

He was let go. . The letter states that Sgt. Milliman was rude, dismissive, and did not de-escalate the situation. Chief Bret Cottrell said in the letter obtained by CBS Colorado, "Such behavior undermines public trust, negatively impacts team morale, and does not reflect the values of integrity, respect, and professionalism that this department holds."
Milliman will now have to complete a training course.
CBS Colorado has also learned Jamie Milliman, also known as James Milliman, was let go from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office in 2013. A spokesperson states that he failed to take reports from citizens as required by policy, failed to read Miranda rights to a juvenile before questioning, and failed to complete paperwork also required by department policy.
The Columbine Valley police chief's action follows Chrisanna Elser's story, first shared by CBS Colorado Investigator Karen Morfitt. Eler's doorbell camera captured the entire exchange with the officer on her porch in which Milliman accused Elser of stealing a package from someone else's front door. And Elser's Rivian truck would also later prove her innocence.

The part where he says “you can’t take a breath of fresh air without us knowing” should raise alarms for everyone.

Brags over and over again how they have cameras everywhere and you can't take a breath without them knowing but they can't catch actual criminals or pedophiles and they can't find missing kids 🙄

work in law enforcement long enough and you can tell when someone is lying. this woman is genuinely perplexed and this cop is so blinded by his ego (being right) that he is no longer reading the situation with any objectivity of thought and understanding, or leveraging his own experience. dangerous situation and his qualified immunity has made him wreckless.

This is why you don’t talk to cops. He went there under the assumption that she was already guilty.

I bet he says that stupid phrase over and over again everyday. "You cant take a breath," blah blah blah. He forgets people are innocent until proven guilty and hes not a judge.

People wanna know why flock cameras are bad? This is exactly why. They track every single movement you make and can make accusations like this based on you being in the area
