At Rest

Deadly force
Around 7 p.m., Jim Wright's family member reported to the Meade County Sheriff's Office that they were concerned about his welfare. Deputies found him near the Clark County and Meade County line. Wright fled in his SUV, and deputies pursued. Deputies deployed spike strips, and Wright's SUV slowed and came to a stop. Wright got out of his other holding a firearm. Deputies and officers gave commands for him to drop the gun. Around 9:40 p.m., officers from various agencies shot and killed him.
This record exists so that James “Jim” Crosby Wright, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
