Brent Marlin Imes

Deadly force

A police sergeant spotted Imes pulling a suitcase and animal carrier through some parking lots and said he looked suspicious because of recent thefts in the area. Officer Bryan Hough confronted Imes, who refused to identify himself. Imes initially complied with Hough's orders to remove his hand from his pocket, but then he put his hand back in, swung around and fired a gun twice from inside the pocket. Hough returned fire, killing Imes. The items Imes was carrying were stolen in the recent thefts.
