Former Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Deputy Andrew Buen has been found guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the death of New Zealand man Christian Glass almost three years ago.

He had faced several other charges, including second-degree murder and criminally negligent homicide, but after almost a full day of deliberations, the jury returned a guilty verdict to only the lesser charge.
