Jeremy Yachik Case Report

Berthoud police officer, Jeremy Yachik, was accused of abusing his 15-year old daughter in the year of 2014. An email received by the Loveland police department included video footage of a man, later identified as Yachik and his daughter, hitting and kicking a young female in 2012 which led to an investigation and later, an arrest. Loveland police investigated the allegations instead of the Berthoud Police department due to Yachik’s ex-fiance claiming that she had emailed the video to Berthoud Police Chief Glen Johnson but Johnson had never responded, thus causing her to continue trying to get help for Yachik’s daughter.
