In addition to the menacing and weapons charges, Saunders also is charged with prohibited use of a weapon, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct, the Aurora Police Department said Monday.
Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said Saunders has been suspended with pay during the investigation, but he would be put on unpaid leave once the department is formally notified of the charges.
Jackson said neither he nor Police Chief Gerald Whitman would comment on the case.
“It would be inappropriate for us to make any comment about another department’s case, especially an ongoing, active investigation,” he said.
Saunders was assigned to Denver International Airport. His booking photograph was not available from Aurora police Monday.
