IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo. (KDVR) — Former Clear Creek County deputy Andrew Buen will spend the next three years behind bars, officially sentenced Monday morning after being convicted of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Christian Glass nearly three years ago.
Clear Creek County Sheriff Matthew Harris says while they still have a ways to go, he’s confident his office is on the right track to making sure something like this doesn’t happen again thanks to many policy changes made since Glass’s death.
“We as an organization understand the tragic nature of what happened,” said Harris.
That’s why he said things needed to change in his office.
“We issued over 200 brand new policies in the last year,” said Harris.
