Charges have been dropped against two officers accused of failing to try to stop the use of force in the Christian Glass case

DENVER — Misdemeanor charges have been dropped against two Colorado police officers in connection with the fatal 2022 shooting of Christian Glass, a 22-year-old man experiencing a mental health crisis.

Among them were two officers, Christa Lloyd and Mary Harris, who work for the state’s gaming department six officers charged last year for failing to intervene to stop the actions of former sheriff’s deputy Andrew Buen, who eventually shot Glass after a standoff in a small mountain community.

A judge ruled Monday that gaming officers are not covered by the law, which makes it a felony for peace officers such as police and state troopers to fail to intervene to stop a colleague from using excessive force.

Buen was convicted this year of reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor, in the Glass shooting. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on the more serious charges of second-degree murder and official misconduct. Buen is scheduled to be retried on those charges in February.

Another officer was charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment in Glass’ death pleaded guilty to failure to intervene.
