DENVER (KDVR) — Charges were dropped for three more officers in the 2022 death of Christian Glass.

A spokesperson for the Colorado Judicial Branch confirmed to FOX31 on Wednesday that charges of failure to intervene in the excessive force of another law enforcement officer were dropped for Idaho Springs police officer Brittany Morrow, former Georgetown police officer Timothy Collins and Colorado State Patrol trooper Ryan Bennie. Similar charges were also dropped for two other officers late last year.

affiliate KDVR spoke with Colorado’s 5th Judicial District Attorney Heidi McCollum on Wednesday night and learned that the charges were dismissed as part of a plea agreement. The DA said there were a few factors that led to the plea agreement being offered.

Those included that Andrew Buen, a former Clear Creek County deputy, was convicted of a lesser charge than what he was originally charged with, leading prosecutors to believe that a jury would not find these individuals guilty of the charges they faced.

McCollum also noted that it’s coming up on the third anniversary of Christian Glass’ death, and the process is taking a toll on his family. She said that the Glass family has been consulted on every step of the case.

The charges stemmed from June 2022, when Glass’ car broke down in Clear Creek County and he called for help. During the call, he told dispatchers that he had possible weapons in his car, including knives and a hammer, which his family said were for an amateur geology trip.

Several law enforcement officers responded. Body-worn camera footage showed that deputies with the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office broke a window of his vehicle, shot him with bean bags and used a Taser against him before a deputy shot him six times.

More than a dozen officers faced charges in the case.

The plea deal publicized on Wednesday included two main parts:

1. The three individuals will be given additional training on de-escalation techniques, mental health response competencies and critical incident training.
2. All three have completed interviews to be used in training to be distributed to all law enforcement officers as an example of what not to do
   • The three were asked three questions each: What went wrong and why, what would you do differently and what has been the personal impact on you

The training video will be produced by the Colorado State Patrol and distributed.

“If this video can prevent one lethal incident with law enforcement officers and can get one officer to rely on their de-escalation training, then that saved life makes this plea agreement worth it,” McCollum told FOX31.

She added that no one is winning in this case, as Christian lost his life and his family lost their son, while Buen is in prison and other officers have had their lives also irreparably changed, as well as the community they served.

The only outstanding case in this incident is against former Georgetown police officer Randy Williams.

CSP Col. Matthew C. Packard released the following statement:

“This case began when the Glass family suffered the loss of their son, a loss that should never have occurred. I was very pleased to learn about the agreement reached between the 5th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and Trooper Ryan Bennie, specifically that the criminal charges he faced would be dismissed.  While I wish the process to arrive at this outcome would have been different, particularly in avoiding an unnecessary criminal charge against Trooper Bennie, I also understand the complexities involved. Our agency will continue its efforts to learn and grow following our involvement in incidents as a part of our drive for continuous improvement. The Colorado State Patrol is glad to have Trooper Bennie continue his professional service to the people of Colorado as a member of our agency.”

Former Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office deputy Andrew Buen was convicted of criminally negligent homicide in Glass’ death and was sentenced to three years in the Department of Corrections.
