How they died
Suicide
Four Spencer officers went to the AmericInn Hotel and Suites at about 10:30 a.m. with an arrest warrant for Allen Linn Harman, who was wanted for sexual abuse of a minor in Wyoming. According to police, the officers knocked on Harman's door on the second floor of the hotel, but he refused to let them in, denying there were any warrants against him. The officers then reportedly heard what they said was a "possible muffled gunshot" followed by two definite gunshots. The hotel was evacuated and officers from several other agencies arrived. Police broke through the window and used a pole camera to view into the room. The images revealed a person lying on the bed, not moving. Police broke down the door and found Harman's body.
