Deputy Brian Wood – Adams County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Deputy Brian Wood was involved in the fatal shooting of rancher Jack Yantis on November 1, 2015. Prior to this incident, Wood had been terminated from the McCall Police Department in 2011 for poaching. Despite this, he was hired by the Adams County Sheriff’s Office in 2013. The shooting led to an eight-month investigation by the Idaho State Police and the Idaho Attorney General’s Office, which concluded that the shooting was neither justified nor unjustified, resulting in no charges against Wood. He was dismissed from the Adams County Sheriff’s Office in August 2016. ([idahostatesman.com](https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/northwest/idaho/article121613777.html?utm_source=openai))
