After an inquiry earlier in the month by Frauditor Troll to the Englewood police department, it was revealed that Benson could have been charged with harassment in the incident but the Allied Security officer that was the target of Benson’s alleged harassment refused to press charges.
Benson’s actions, however, resulted in a ban from the Englewood Public Library, where the incident took place, with two counts of harassment listed. Benson protested the charges inclusion on the report as she had never been formally charged.
Frauditor Troll reported that sometime over the past 12 days the security guard involved in the incident officially changed his mind and filed charges against Benson. An arrest warrant was issued for her arrest, and she appeared in court on March 22 for the charges and released on her own recognizance. A protection order was also issued against Benson at that time.
Benson is being charged with Colorado statute 18-9-111(1)(c) – Harassment – Follow Person in Public Place, a class 1 misdemeanor, and statute 18-9-111(1)(h) – Harassment – Insults/Taunts/Challenges, a class 2 misdemeanor.
Class 1 misdemeanors in Colorado carry up to 1 year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.00. Class 2 misdemeanors are punishable by up to 120 days in jail and a fine of up to $750.00.
Benson’s pre-trial hearing for the charges is scheduled for May 17, 2024.
