In October 2011, Deputy Scott Sloan was involved in a fatal crash while responding to a 911 call. Sloan was traveling at speeds up to 115 mph when he attempted to pass Barry Johnson’s vehicle on the left as Johnson was making a lawful left turn into his driveway. The collision resulted in Johnson’s death. Sloan was initially charged with felony vehicular manslaughter, but the charges were eventually dismissed due to discrepancies in the investigation. Sloan resigned from the Payette County Sheriff’s Office in February 2012, prior to the filing of charges. A wrongful death lawsuit filed by Johnson’s daughter against Payette County resulted in a $150,000 settlement in 2018.
