EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) – A former El Paso County Sheriff’s Deputy at the center of a fraud and theft investigation is close to striking a plea deal with the District Attorney’s Office.
It comes less than a month after deputies arrested the former deputy, Kevin Sypher.
Sypher walked out of his Parker home on April 27. Then, two days later on April 29, 2023, it was confirmed that Sypher was located safely and in contact with the Parker Police Department.
Days later, Rocky Mountain National Park sent out a release that Sypher went missing again and was last seen near the Wild Basin Entrance in Rocky Mountain National Park when he is reported to have willingly walked away from a vehicle he was traveling in. However, after a days-long search, efforts were suspended on May 5.
Sypher appeared in court today handcuffed. The former EPSO deputy is accused of fraud and theft. Today, he had his bond amount reduced from 100 thousand to 3,000 dollars.
