Wheat Ridge Man Pleads Guilty in DUI Crash That Killed Golden Officer Evan Dunn

The plea agreement sets a 4 to 18 year prison term with no probation.

Overview

  • Stephen Robert Geer, 44, admitted to vehicular homicide-DUI and vehicular assault-DUI in the November 2024 Highway 58 crash.
  • Prosecutors agreed to dismiss one additional felony and two misdemeanor counts under the deal that guarantees a Department of Corrections sentence.
  • Sentencing is set for Jan. 21 in Colorado’s First Judicial District, which includes Jefferson and Gilpin counties.
  • Investigators said Geer showed signs of alcohol, stopped a roadside sobriety test partway through, and later had his blood drawn under a warrant.
  • Officer Evan Dunn, 33, died at the scene; Officer Bethany Grusing and two civilians were seriously hurt, and prosecutors say the survivors have since recovered.
