Suspect Pleads Guilty to Killing Golden Police Officer
A college professor, Stephen Geer, 44, has pleaded guilty to a deadly DUI crash that killed a Golden police officer and injured three others.
According to 9NEWS, Geer pleaded guilty just three months before he was scheduled to face trial for charges of vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, third-degree assault, and driving while under the influence of alcohol.
- Vehicular homicide
- Vehicular assault
- Third-degree assault
- Driving while under the influence of alcohol
The charges stem from a deadly crash on Highway 58 last November, where Golden police officer Evan Dunn, 33, and his field training officer, Bethany Grusing, were standing outside their patrol vehicle responding to an earlier crash when Geer veered off the road and smashed into the Subaru from that original accident.
Golden police officer Evan Dunn, 33, was killed in the line of duty.
