No charges in shooting of Idaho rancher

The U.S. attorney for Idaho and the state attorney general announced they will not pursue charges against the two Adams County deputies who fatally shot rancher Jack Yantis. Following an investigation by the FBI, the U.S. attorney determined “there is insufficient evidence to pursue federal criminal civil rights charges against Adams County deputy sheriffs Cody Rowland and Brian Wood for the death of Jack Yantis.” After reviewing the results of an Idaho State Police investigation, the state attorney general’s office reached the same conclusion. Yantis, 62, was shot and killed by the deputies Nov. 1 after he arrived at the scene where one of his bulls had been hit and injured by a car. He was asked by police dispatchers to go there.
