Hudson Police K9 Officer Arrested For Harassment

Evan Goudy, previously with the Loveland Police Department, is charged with harassment towards an ex-girlfriend

Update 12/19/2025: The Larimer Count District Attorney has dismissed the case against Evan Goudy. According to Hudson Police Chief Scott Sedgwick, Goudy "remains a fully certified Police Officer with the Hudson Police Department."

Evan Goudy, a K9 officer with the Hudson Police Department, was arrested on Nov. 13 and is charged with harassment targeting his ex-girlfriend, according to his arrest affidavit. 

Hudson Police Chief Scott Sedgwick told Blue Surveillance that Goudy is now on administrative leave.

Sergeant Justin Calkins with the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office — where Goudy’s ex-girlfriend  works as a dispatcher — states in the arrest affidavit that Goudy has shown up at places she was present and has emailed her through “spoof” email addresses asking to talk, even as she has previously told him she does not wish to speak. She also states in the arrest affidavit that Goudy has shown up uninvited at her residence multiple times in previous months, of which some of the time he was intoxicated.

Goudy’s arrest stems from an incident on Nov. 12, according to court records, where his ex-girlfriend saw his truck parked at a saloon she frequented, though she did not tell him she was going there. Leaving, she later saw his truck parked outside her neighborhood that same evening, and as she walked towards her garage Goudy approached her from between neighboring homes, asking to talk. The ex-girlfriend said she did not want to and walked inside.

“His uninvited late-night presence, his concealed approach at her residence, his surveillance-like behavior, his emotionally unstable behavior, and his disregard of her requests for no contact would cause a reasonable person to experience fear or distress,” the arrest affidavit states. “As an armed, active-duty police officer with training in tactics and access to weapons, the impact of his actions was heightened.”

Larimer County Court has also issued a protection order now prohibiting Goudy from possessing any firearms or ammunition, from contacting, harassing, or being near her home, along with ordering him to stay 50 yards away from her.

Goudy’s behavior predates this incident though. He previously resigned while under investigation at the Loveland Police Department in November last year for abandoning his work shift, driving his department vehicle to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, and repeatedly trying to speak with the same ex-girlfriend against her wishes.

Dating at the time in July of last year, Goudy’s ex-girlfriend received screenshots of messages between him and an LPD co-officer — which included “sexually suggestive” images, according to the LPD internal affairs report — sent by the co-officer’s husband. The ex-girlfriend messaged Goudy that she did not want to speak to him and blocked him, after which he left his shift early, drove to LCSO, and messaged that he wanted to speak with her, and that LCSO can “kick me out.” He left soon after he arrived, returned in his private vehicle and was met by the ex-girlfriend’s LCSO supervisors, who told him she did not wish to speak with him.

The next day, LPD put him on administrative leave. 

The internal affairs investigation found multiple sustained policy violations including “engaging in acts that bring discredit to the department” because he “continuously tried to contact his girlfriend after she clearly told him she did not wish to communicate with him,” along with being on-duty at the time, and the safety concerns through him saying they could “kick [him] out.”

Goudy resigned during the investigation on Sept. 25, 2024, a week after a disciplinary recommendation was issued. The Hudson Police Department hired him a little over a month later in November 2024.

Goudy did not respond to a request for comment through his Instagram account, which was found deleted soon after. Hudson Police Chief Sedgwick further stated in an email that the department “does not comment on any pending criminal or internal investigations.”
