After announcing his candidacy for Grand County Sheriff, former Kremmling police chief Jamie Lucas has taken a job in Nevada.
Lucas, who served as the Kremmling police chief until April 2020, started as the police chief of the Duckwater Shoshone Tribe in Duckwater in July.
Lucas is listed as the police chief on the Duckwater Shoshone Tribe website. Department officials declined to comment on his hiring.
Lucas also didn’t respond to requests for comment about his move or how it might affect his plans to run for Grand County sheriff.
In April, Lucas confirmed that he had filed paperwork to run for Grand County Sheriff in 2022 and was meeting with residents.

GRANBY Despite repeatedly proclaiming his innocence, former Kremmling Police Chief Jamie Lucas pleaded guilty Monday to one count of official misconduct.
Lucas was sentenced to one year of unsupervised probation and 36 hours community service after pleading guilty to reduced charges through a plea agreement that vacated Lucas’ April trial and kept him out of jail. He must also pay a $100 fine and court costs.
After accepting the deal, Grand County Judge Nicholas Catanzarite issued the sentence.
