In August 2018, Deputy Donnie Mack Brown was involved in an incident during the Escalante Days in Dolores, where his horse kicked a 4-year-old child, causing serious injuries. The child’s parents filed a civil complaint alleging negligence. In July 2020, Brown was arrested for alleged harassment as an act of domestic violence, leading to a 12-month diversion agreement requiring him to admit to a violation of the law, pay fees, and complete a domestic violence program. He was suspended without pay following the arrest and later placed on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation. In August 2018, Brown faced disciplinary action for interrupting a class at Dolores Schools to simulate shooting a teacher and students, resulting in reassignment or dismissal.
