He is also accused of driving with a restrained license, a misdemeanor.
As of Wednesday morning, Bauserman was being held in the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office detention facility in Castle Rock on a $100,000 bail, according to inmate records. He is scheduled to appear in court Friday morning for a hearing on official charges.
