The same document, previously under seal, raised questions about the nature of Stromayer’s relationship with two of his jailers, who have denied inappropriate conduct.
Stromayer, his ex-wife, Rachel Stromayer, former Gunnison County corrections officer Tawnya Sponable, Gunnison County Sheriff’s Sgt. Melissa Rogers and sheriff’s Cpt. Michelle Zadra were arrested or cited into court in early September after the Colorado Bureau of Investigation concluded a probe at the jail.

Stromayer, who has a significant criminal history, has since been formally charged with introduction of contraband, perjury, witness intimidation, conspiracy to intimidate a witness and third-degree assault.
His ex-wife was charged with conspiracy to intimidate a witness in an assault case. She has denied doing so.
“I have cooperated with the district attorney and with the CBI,” she previously told the Daily Press. “I’ve never hidden anything from them.”
Sponable was charged as an accessory to second-degree assault, conspiracy to introduce contraband, possession of a controlled substance, conspiracy to commit perjury, official misconduct and false reporting.
Rogers and Zadra were both charged with perjury, official misconduct and false reporting.
Gunnison County Sheriff Rick Murdie requested a CBI investigation last December, because he suspected Sponable of misconduct and of providing contraband to Stromayer.
