As a Portland Police Bureau officer, Humphreys was involved in the 2006 death of James Chasse Jr., a mentally ill man who died from blunt force trauma after a struggle with officers. The city settled the case for $1.6 million. In 2009, Humphreys shot a 12-year-old girl with a beanbag shotgun at close range after she punched an officer, leading to his temporary suspension. He later became Wheeler County Sheriff but resigned in 2018 due to exhaustion and workload concerns.
