The Broomfield Police Department confirmed Tuesday that it has opened a criminal investigation into domestic violence allegations made against University of Colorado assistant coach Joe Tumpkin.
CU’s athletic director also said Tuesday that Tumpkin has been suspended indefinitely from the football team pending the criminal investigation.
Broomfield police spokeswoman Joleen Reefe said the department has an open and active investigation against Tumpkin, though no arrest has been made at this time.
The allegations against Tumpkin were made by his ex-girlfriend in a temporary restraining order last month. She claimed Tumpkin physically assaulted her multiple times over the course of their three-year relationship.
