Sergeant Brandon Smart – Yellowstone County Sheriff’s Office

In January 2022, Sergeant Brandon Smart was involved in an off-duty incident at the Grandstand Casino in Billings. While off duty, Smart and other off-duty law enforcement officers confronted a driver who had yelled at them. The confrontation escalated, resulting in Smart being struck by the butt of a gun. An internal investigation concluded that Smart violated the agency’s policy on ethics and conduct. He received a formal reprimand, was stripped of all special duties for one year, and was required to undergo additional ethics and conduct training.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
