Officer pleads not guilty in Colorado train-patrol car crash

GREELEY, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado police officer accused of putting a handcuffed woman in a parked police car that was hit by a freight train has pleaded not guilty.  Jordan Steinke’s lawyer entered the plea on her behalf during a brief court hearing on Thursday. It came a week after prosecutors dropped the most serious charge she had faced, second-degree felony assault. She is still charged with felony attempted reckless manslaughter and misdemeanor reckless endangerment in the September collision that seriously injured 21-year-old Yareni Rios. She has filed a lawsuit accusing officers of failing in their duty to take care of her while in custody.
