Filip Perry – Gilpin County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In March 2023, former Deputy Filip Perry was involved in an incident where he allegedly used excessive force against Christopher Bustos in the Ameristar Casino parking lot. Perry approached a vehicle reported as stolen and, without provocation, drew his firearm and used his taser on Bustos’ face, resulting in permanent damage to Bustos’ left eye. Bustos filed a lawsuit against Perry and the Gilpin County Sheriff’s Office, alleging excessive force and failure to discipline Perry for his actions.
