GOLDEN, Colo. (Oct. 13, 2025) – The driver responsible for the crash that killed Golden Police Officer Evan Dunn and injured three others has pleaded guilty. Today, Stephen Robert Geer entered guilty pleas to the following charges:
Count 1: Vehicular Homicide – DUI (F3), C.R.S. 18-3-106(1)(b)(I) – Victim: Officer Evan Dunn
Count 2: Vehicular Assault – DUI (F4), C.R.S. 18-3-205(1)(b)(I) – Victims: All surviving parties
Geer was originally charged with five counts for the November 6, 2024, crash that killed Officer Dunn and seriously injured Golden Police Officer Grusing and two civilians.
As part of the plea agreement, the People agreed to dismiss one felony and two misdemeanors (counts 3, 4, and 5) with the condition that Geer stipulate to a Department of Corrections sentence of 4 to 18 years, thereby eliminating the possibility of probation even though he would have otherwise been probation-eligible if convicted at trial. This stipulation reflects the parties’ acknowledgment that a prison sentence is the only appropriate outcome in this case.
Sentencing is scheduled for January 21, 2026, at 8:30 am.
