Deputy Duehn – Walla Walla County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Deputy Duehn was involved in a 2004 incident where he arrested a citizen, Mr. Buchanan, on his own property. Buchanan was using a shotgun to scare away birds from his orchard when Deputy Duehn, responding to a complaint from a nearby store owner, confronted and arrested him. The arrest led to a lawsuit alleging excessive force and violation of constitutional rights. The court found that the evidence did not permit a conclusion regarding the reasonableness of Deputy Duehn’s actions, leading to further legal proceedings.
