Clark County deputies involved in recent fatal shootings quickly returned to duties
Nearly all the deputies and detectives recently involved in killings of Black men in Clark County are back to work, and most of them spent less than a month on paid leave before they were back on the job.
According to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, five out of the six men and women have returned. None have been reassigned, instead they have resumed their duties as before, while prosecutors have not yet decided whether the shootings are justified or whether to press charges.
Dets. Robert Anderson and Jeremy Brown and Deputy Jon Feller, who each opened fire at 21-year-old Kevin Peterson Jr. during an attempted drug sting Oct. 29, all returned to work Nov. 24.
Peterson’s killing came after he fled detectives, including Anderson, who attempted to bust him for selling Xanax. The case is still under review by Pierce County’s top elected prosecutor. Peterson’s family has already taken the first steps in filing a wrongful death lawsuit.
