At Rest

Deadly force
A Yellowstone County deputy shot and killed a man who escaped from Montana State Prison following a standoff. Dean Randolph Jess was driving a stolen Jeep when he was pinned in by patrol cars at an intersection near a Wal-Mart. It ended when Jess moved a handgun he had been holding toward one of the deputies surrounding his other. The deputy opened fire and Jess was killed.
This record exists so that Dean Randolph Jess, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
