A jury on Monday found the man accused of killing a Colorado State Patrol trooper in November 2016 guilty on some charges.
Noe Gamez-Ruiz was found guilty of careless driving while passing an emergency vehicle resulting in death and failure to stay in a single lane. The jury acquitted him of another careless driving charge.
Gamez-Ruiz will be sentenced July 30. According to a release from the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office, the convictions carry a maximum sentence of 12 months in jail, but Gamez-Ruiz would be eligible for probation.
Trooper Cody Donahue was at the scene of a crash on Interstate 25 near Castle Rock when he was struck three times by a box truck that Gamez-Ruiz drove: On the hip, in the leg by bolts of the truck's tire and in the head by a padlock on the truck.
