Deputy Cody Quantrell was involved in the fatal shooting of former U.S. Marine Dante Jones in November 2019. The incident occurred on an icy rural road, and Quantrell claimed he was at risk of serious injury or death when Jones attempted to drive off with the deputy partially inside the car. The shooting was deemed justified by the prosecutor, but Jones’ family filed a federal lawsuit alleging that Quantrell’s actions and a lack of proper training led to the death. The lawsuit also highlighted Quantrell’s history of endangering the public.
