All Hell Breaks Loose In Jack Yantis Case: Idaho Law Enforcement Issues *USE EXTREME CAUTION* Statewide Alert For Deputy Who Killed Jack Yantis
According To The Law Enforcement Alert, Deputy Brian Wood Has Access To Explosives, Was Involved in Domestic Violence, 'Has Become Increasingly Unstable,' Is Separated from wife, and Has Frightened His In-Laws, who have requested increased police patrol of their home. Wood told Adams County Sheriff Office Adams "If cops get involved, shots will be fired." No one in local or state law enforcement notified the Yantis family of this danger. Adams County Sheriff Ryan Zollman, who has known about this alert since January 22, continues to defend Wood and said just last week that he would rehire Wood if he is cleared of charges in the killing of 62-year-old Jack. Zollman faces a challenger, retired lawman Tom Watts, in the election for sheriff this November.
On November 1, 2015, local sheriff dispatcher called Jack out to tend to an injured bull which had been hit by a car. Shortly thereafter he was shot to death by the very sheriff department which called him for help. Jack's nephew Rowdy Paradis, who was a witness, wrote that Jack was "Murdered in cold blood by trigger happy rookies gunned down at the end of his own driveway for trying to take care of his own livestock!!!!!! As their own dispatch had asked him to do I how they get the death penalty." Jack's daughter Sarah Yantis said "My dad Jack Yantis was brutally gunned down and murdered by the Adams County deputies... My father did not receive any care, including medical care, prior to my arrival. And he was shot and left for dead like common roadkill."
Jack Yantis' widow Donna, 63-years-old, gave this account of the incident from her hospital bed. She had a heart attack upon seeing the police murder her husband.
"On Nov. 1 at approximately 7 p.m. Adams County Sheriff's Department called and told us there was a bull that got hit and they wanted us on the scene and he was mad. So we went down to check it out. I took Jack his gun so he could put the bull out of its misery. When he walked up there and was gonna put him down the officer came up and jerked him back almost off his feet. I don't know what they told him, but they just opened fire and shot him. And then they threatened me and my nephew, Rowdy Paradis, threw us on the middle of Highway 95, searched us and handcuffed us and wouldn't let us go take care of Jack."
Adams County Idaho Sheriff Ryan Zollman, who is facing challengers in both the upcoming Republican primary and in the general election in november, was asked two weeks ago by republican candidate at a public town hall meeting, the following question. Knowing what you know now about this case, would you re-hire the two deputies who killed Jack Yantis? Zollman replied with a resounding YES. At a previous town hall meeting shortly after the shooting, Zollman denied that his deputies were trained by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, despite the fact that LibertyFight.com had published countless official from the official Adams County meeting minutes, admitting DHS training, funding, and mandates.
So, Zollman said that he will re-hire Brian wood and Cody Roland.
