Jeremy Brown, a 13-year deputy at the Clark County Sheriff’s Office who was most recently a detective on a regional drug task force, is the deputy shot and killed Friday night, OPB has learned.
Brown joined the Clark County Sheriff’s Office in August 2007. He had stints working with the Washington Department of Corrections and the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office in Montana, as well. Brown served in the United States Marine Corps from 1993 to 1995.
For the last four years, Brown served as a detective on a drug task force with sheriff’s deputies and officers from the Vancouver Police Department. He was one of three deputies who fatally shot Kevin Peterson Jr. last October when a drug sting went awry.
