STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — A jury in Steamboat Springs on Wednesday found Routt County Sheriff Gary Wall guilty of driving while ability impaired, failure to dim his headlights and prohibited use of a weapon.
The Routt County Court jury rejected the sheriff’s defense in the three-day trial — that he was targeted by state troopers and framed when he was pulled over on U.S. 40 last October, the Steamboat Pilot reported on its website.
A sentencing date has not yet been set. The conviction won’t affect Wall’s job, since he is an elected official, unless voters organize a recall election.
