Jail records show Seelig was arrested on Dec. 1 and charged with DWI and unlawful carrying of a weapon, while Arroyos was arrested on Nov. 28 and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
According to jail records, both officers were released the same day they were booked.
In a statement to KFOX14/CBS4, EPPD said it is aware of the arrests of the two officers and “an administrative investigation into both incidents is currently underway.”
While Seeling’s booking photo has been released, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office said it will not be releasing Arroyo’s booking photo due to his “assignment in a specialized unit,” adding that it could potentially compromise ongoing investigations.
KFOX14/CBS4 is working to learn more about both arrests.
