On January 31, 2022, two Clearwater County deputies were involved in the fatal shooting of 48-year-old Michael Trappett, who was reportedly armed with a knife. The family disputed the sheriff’s office’s account, alleging that Trappett had a history of mental illness and was not aggressive towards the officers. The deputies were placed on administrative leave pending investigation. The family indicated plans to pursue legal action.
