A police sergeant in Colorado is facing domestic violence and child abuse charges, including accusations of torture and making repeated death threats against his ex-wife — allegedly going so far as to talk about his murder obsession with their two children, who have been allegedly sleeping with baseball bats at night for protection, according to cops.
“He wanted to murder someone so he could see what it felt like,” alleges Richard Norton’s arrest affidavit, which was filed by the Longmont Police Department and obtained by Law&Crime on Tuesday, with it citing Norton’s ex-wife and their kids as witnesses, along with their stepfather.
