Stalking case involving prominent Vail real estate agent could be headed for dismissal
Vail real estate agent Tye Stockton, who faces a felony stalking charge, appeared in district court on Tuesday in front of Eagle County Judge Inga Causey.
Assistant district attorneys prosecuting the case told Causey they were going through cell phone data related to the case and requested more time to sift through the data.
“We received a cell phone warrant dump, we were looking to see if there was anything substantive from there, our guess is there probably will not be,” one of the assistant district attorneys told Causey.
If the cell phone data doesn’t reveal anything new in the case, prosecutors told Causey the 5th Judicial District Attorney’s office will likely extend Stockton an offer to dismiss the case if he agrees to take domestic violence classes.
One of the assistant district attorneys told Causey that the alleged victim in the case had not been made aware of the potential offer to Stockton at the time.

“We have spent multiple resources to try and get a meeting with her, to get in contact with her, we are unsuccessful,” one of the assistant district attorneys told Causey. “We are now in VRA compliance so we don’t want to hold this case up anymore.”
The Colorado Division of Criminal Justice’s Victim Rights Act compliance program seeks to ensure victims of crime are afforded their constitutional and statutory rights. The stalking charge, a class 5 felony, stems from a Dec. 27 incident in Vail in which Stockton is accused of putting a tracking device in the vehicle of the alleged victim.
The case was continued to May 21.
Stockton, a prominent figure in Vail real estate, is known for brokering some of the area’s largest deals, including representing the buyer in the August 2020 sale of 99 and 100 Vail Road for $57,250,000 — a new record for the Vail market.
