Young said the caseworker said she was going to call someone about the text messages. DET Santoro asked what Patton said after Young told him that her caseworker had seen the text messages. Young said Patton told her not to tell anyone what happened and to erase her text messages and e-mails. ‘Young was asked if she told Patton she was going to alert his superiors or the District Attorney's Office to their relationship and she said she did tell Patton “a few days ago” she was going to speak about their relationship because sho was mad and Patton was supposed to help her and all Patton cared about was talking on the phone “while he jerks off".

DET Santoro asked what help Young wanted and she said Patton was supposed to help her with the kidnapping case. When asked if Patton ever asked her to stop contacting him she stated “no”. Young said she did e-mail Patton recently, advising him she hated him and he was a jerk.

Young said Patton asked her not to tell the district attorney anything. While DET Santoro was interviewing Jennifer Young at her residence, Young allowed Your Affiant to review the e-mails between her and Patton that he had stored on her cellular telephone. Upon doing so, Your Affiant observed e-mails between Young (iennykeb3@amail,com) and Patton (pattonpa@ci.colospgs.co.us — his official CSPD e-mail account) from July 2015. Those e-mails include:ARREST WARRANT - PAUL DEWAYNE PATTON. Page Six ‘An e-mail sent from Patton to Young with what appears to be an official CSPD mugshot of an unknown female. Young told Your Affiant this photograph was of a female Patton advised was the person who reported Young's kidnappers. ‘An e-mail sent from Patton to Young with the text, “I just found the fucking murder weapon on 14-year- old” and “I'm drinking tonight’. The e-mail had an attached photograph of a firearm that was later reviewed by SGT Rabideau. SGT Rabideau confirmed this photograph was of the firearm recovered during a homicide investigation (CSPD #2015-28896) and appeared to be an evidentiary photograph maintained by CSPD reference that investigation An e-mail stamped July 16 at 3:30PM from Patton to Young in which Patton says, Have a good day. Sorry I'm not a person you want to have" ‘An e-mail stamped '2 days ago’ from Patton to Young in which Patton says, “I'm sorry about ur day and all of this. | hate mysetf for letting it go this far. | hope you're feeling better. | promise to call you later. | have to go out and interview some businesses for video." During this same timeframe Young sent Pation an e-mail stating, “Im so done! I'm sending all my texts." ‘An e-mail stamped ‘Yesterday’ from Patton to Young in which Patton says, “I'm sure Internal Affairs will call u anyday. They will have my phone bill and see how much we talk. It's fucking over. My fault.” ‘The e-mails from Patton to Young frequently contained his CSPD e-mail signature identifying him as a homicide detective with the Colorado Springs Police Department. On the afternoon of Sunday, 26 July 2015, CSPD Detective Bryan Rogers/2641 conducted a consent download of Young's cellular telephone. During a review of the records Your Affiant noted an extensive string of text messages between Young's telephone and (identified in the official CSPD employee directory as Patton's CSPD cellular telephone number). The text messages were dated and time-stamped, some of which included: Text messages between Patton and Young on and around 13 June 2015 where they engage in mutual sex conversations, with Patton telling Young he has a “chub’ (erection) and “morning wood" A text message from Patton to Young on 14 June 2015 where he tells her he is “so stiff” from her sexual messages to him Mutual sexual messages between Patton and Young in June 2016 and July 2015, A text message conversation on the afternoon of 3 July 2015 where Young asks Patton to come visit and have sex with her and Patton says he wants to. Patton then tells Young he will come to her house “tonight or in the AM {morning] for sure”. Young then telis Patton what she will do to him sexually and Patton says he “can't effin wait’ A text message from Patton to Young on 4 July 2015 at 3:09AM in which he states, “I hope ur ok, so can | come see you in a few or 7 ibARREST WARRANT ~ PAUL DEWAYNE PATTON Page Seven * text message from Patton to Young on 4 July 2016 at 4:01AM in which he states, “227" = A text message from Patton to Young on 4 July 2015 at 4:14AM in which he states, in response to no reply from her, “I have to work at 8, Il try u on my way back" * A text message from Patton to Young on 4 July 2015 at 5:35AM in which he states, “Want me to come by or maybe have a coffee later?!? I'l bring to u". Patton and Young then have a conversation where she gives him her address, he tells her he is outside, she states her family is there, and he asks her if he should “hide”. At 6:01AM Patton texts Young, ‘I’m here” and she replies “One min’. After this message there are no texts between Patton and Young until 4 July 2015 at 7:35AM, in which Patton texts Young that he saw a bear by a liquor store, A conversation ensues between the two, during which time she tells Patton “Thanks for fucking me” and he replies “Shh”. They continue discussion through 4 July 2015 and on § July and 6 July 2015. There are no text messages in Young's telephone indicative of sexual contact between her and Patton on 10-11 July 2015 as he described to Your Affiant during the interview outlined above. Additionally, the communication string from 4 July 2016 clearly contradicts Patton's statement to Your Affiant that he and Young had no contact for approximately three days after he dropped her off at her residence after having sexual intercourse with her. Your Affiant also located text messages and other electronic communications where Patton tells Young about CSPO cases he is working, including @ recent homicide on which he is the lead detective (CSPD case report #2015-28896) and a death investigation (CSPD #2015-26835) he was not assigned as the lead detective. A check of Colorado Department of Revenue (CDOR) files fully identified Patton as Paul Dewayne Patton / DOB: 12-11-1975 / SSN #: white male / 6-02 / 225 pounds / brown hair / hazel eyes. Your Affiant advises the Court that during the time Patton was receiving sexual contact and messages from Young and when he was providing her with communication regarding CSPD investigations not involving her, he was active as the lead detective on her 2014 kidnapping investigation which has not concluded in El Paso County District Court and is still an active court case against one defendant. Your Affiant advises the Court the admissions by DET Patton constitute multiple violations of adopted and Currently active CSPO policies and procedures. Additionally, the text messages and electronic communications recovered during the investigation contradict the statement provided by Patton to Your Affiant during the official interview him Patton as a victim on 26 July 2015.ARREST WARRANT ~ PAUL DEWAYNE PATTON Page Eight Your Affiant advises the Court this investigation is ongoing and, as of the time of application for this Arrest Warrant, there are additional investigative interviews to be conducted and leads to be investigated.
