On March 19, 2023, former Deputy Filip Perry approached a vehicle reported as stolen in the Ameristar Casino parking lot in Blackhawk. Without provocation, Perry escalated the situation by drawing his firearm and using his taser directly on Christopher Bustos’ face, resulting in permanent blindness in his left eye. Perry was previously terminated following another physical altercation at the same location. An internal affairs investigation revealed Perry expressed a lack of remorse, boasting about his actions. Bustos has filed a lawsuit seeking damages for medical treatments, loss of income, and emotional distress.
