A Pueblo police officer who was originally charged with felony assault in district court is instead facing misdemeanor charges in county court in connection to a fight at a high school graduation party on Quincy Street in Pueblo last year. . The case stems from a July 25, 2020, party for the high school graduation of Jimenez' wife. Jimenez told investigators of two attacks, the first of which involved Villanueva. In total, Jimenez told investigators five or six individuals had been involved with the assaults. The case against Villanueva was filed in the 10th Judicial District Court of Colorado on Nov. 17, but Judge Thomas Flesher ruled that he did not find sufficient evidence that Villanueva had committed the worst of Jimenez' injuries, and so there was insufficient evidence to prosecute Villanueva for a felony charge.
