That day, Weld County deputies responded to Mike Maroone GMC after a person reported a stolen vehicle.

During the subsequent investigation, the sheriff’s office determined that Bauer allegedly wrote a personal check for the car on Dec. 9, 2023, but did not have funds to cover the purchase.

Investigators said a stolen vehicle was later located using OnStar. It was found in the Pike National Forest on a forest road. Deputies were able to recover the truck.
