JCSO Deputy on Administrative Leave Following DUI Arrest

Jefferson County, CO. – Around 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, July 12, 2026, JCSO responded to a report of a person passed out in their car in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 3500 block of South Depew Street. Upon arrival, deputies recognized the person in the car as Deputy Tyler Stahl. The Colorado State Patrol was called to take over the investigation.

Deputy Stahl cooperated and was ultimately arrested for DUI, issued a summons, and released to a family member. The JCSO has no further details on the CSP investigation.

“We are deeply disappointed by the conduct involving one of our deputies,” said Jefferson County Sheriff Reggie Marinelli. “No one is above the law, and our employees are expected to uphold the same laws they are sworn to enforce. We will allow both the criminal and administrative processes to proceed thoroughly and fairly, and we will take appropriate action based on their findings.”

Deputy Stahl is on paid administrative leave until the CSP investigation and subsequent internal investigation are complete.
