The Loveland man who held two salesmen, including a Black Colorado State University athlete, at gunpoint last summer has been sentenced to probation.
Former police officer Scott Gudmundsen, 66, was sentenced to four years of supervised probation during a Tuesday court hearing.
Gudmundsen pleaded guilty to menacing with a weapon, a Class 5 felony, during a March 18 court hearing. Six other charges were dismissed by the 8th Judicial District Attorney s Office as part of a plea agreement.
Gudmundsen was arrested in June after he held two roofing inspection salesmen at gunpoint and knelt on the neck of one of the men who was later identified by CSU athletics as a Black football player because he thought they were members of the antifa movement, according to his arrest documents.
