The man accused of vehicular homicide in the crash that killed an on-duty Golden Police Department officer has yet to take a plea deal, despite lawyers' expectations.

Stephen Geer , currently out on a $250,000 bond, stood before First Judicial District Judge Russell Klein on Tuesday for a pre-trial conference after three pushed-back arraignments, plea deal negotiations and a not-guilty plea last month.

Geer, 43, is set for another pre-trial conference on Oct. 13, where he could still enter a plea deal with the First Judicial District Attorney's Office. If not, he will face a trial scheduled for Jan. 26.

Geer pleaded not guilty to a bevy of charges filed against him on Aug. 4, including:

One count of vehicular homicide, a class 3 felony

Two counts of vehicular assault, a class 4 felon
