CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, Colo. — The Clear Creek County District Attorney’s Office will retry a former sheriff’s deputy involved in the 2022 death of Christian Glass after a jury deadlocked on two charges.

A jury on Friday found Andrew Buen guilty of reckless endangerment but could not reach a verdict for the second-degree murder and official misconduct charges.
