Jury deadlocks on murder charge for Clear Creek sheriff’s deputy who killed Christian Glass, convicts on lesser count
Jurors find former deputy Andrew Buen guilty of reckless endangerment in connection with 2022 police shooting
Jurors couldn’t reach a verdict on the murder charge against the former Clear Creek ¾Ã¾ÃÈȾ«Æ·ÊÓƵapp sheriff’s deputy who shot and killed Christian Glass nearly two years ago, but on Friday convicted the deputy of reckless endangerment.
Andrew Buen, 30, was charged with second-degree murder, official misconduct and reckless endangerment for killing Glass on June 10, 2022, after when his car got stuck on a rock.
Glass, who had marijuana and amphetamine in his system, told dispatchers he was afraid of “skinwalkers” and people chasing him.
Jurors on Friday deadlocked on the murder and official misconduct counts, but convicted Buen of reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor typically punished by no more than 120 days in jail. Buen would have faced years in prison if convicted of second-degree murder.
