An Aurora police officer was fired after being accused of leaving a teenager numerous threatening voice mails last year, Aurora police officials announced Friday.
A local resident came to the police department’s front desk on April 24, 2021, and reported that his teenage child had received numerous threatening voice mails, according to a press release issued by the police department. During an investigation, officers learned that the phone number connected with the voice mails was a personal phone associated with Aurora Police Officer Jonathan Olsen, police officials said in a news release Friday evening.
Olsen, 41, was previously terminated by the department in the fall of 2017 after being accused of abusing department resources to access information about a woman amid criminal charges of harassment on social media, The Beacon-News previously reported. Olsen, who was an officer with the department since 2006, was later reinstated after he appealed his termination, which was reduced to a 60-day suspension.
Olsen was placed on administrative leave and an internal administrative investigation was launched into his conduct. The department found the complaint sustained and the case was sent to the newly-formed Civilian Review Board. Olsen’s case was one of the first reviewed by the board, which concurred with the findings and also recommended Olsen’s termination.
Police presented the case to the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office for review and no charges were filed against Olsen, police said. DuPage State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement that the teen and their parents were satisfied with the disciplinary action against Olsen and did not wish to pursue further action.
