The Park County Sheriff’s Office released the details of the multi-agency vehicle pursuit and the inter-agency cooperation used to stop a rogue suspect.
On Tuesday, March 16, Cody-area Facebook pages were buzzing with news of a cross-county car chase, with multiple Park County law enforcement officers pursuing a speeding SUV. Details, however, were scarce.
Later that day, the Park County Sheriff’s Office released the details of the vehicle pursuit that crossed most of Park County but involved 3 counties, two states, and several officers.
At 9:15 a.m., Park County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) Undersheriff Andy Varian attempted a routine traffic stop at milepost one on Highway 291 on the Southfork Highway. The suspect – who has yet to be named – refused to stop.
Several Park County residents spotted a high-speed car chase involving several local law enforcement agencies chasing a vehicle from the South Fork to Powell.

A call came into the Park County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Office on Thursday, Feb. 18: two snowmobilers – Trevor Wayne Deal, age 22 of Bridger, Montana, and Maison Deacon Ostwald, age 21 of Laurel, Montana – went out for an excursion that morning, and had yet to return. They had called a friend at 5 p.m. saying one of their vehicles was disabled and they were trying to reach a road on foot.

Local law enforcement got an early Christmas gift this year – a high-end sniper rifle.
The Park County Sheriff’s Office has added a LaRue OBR (Optimized Battle Rifle) sniper rifle in their arsenal. But this gift wasn’t delivered by Santa Claus – it was a donation from LaRue Tactical.
LaRue, according to their website, is “known world-wide for sniper targets, quick-detachable mounting solutions, and hyper-accurate 7.62mm and 5.56mm rifle systems.” Their retail value for an OBR sniper rifle on LaRue’s website is $3,370.
The base model of the LaRue OBR comes complete with A2 Rifle Stock and LaRue medium A-PEG™ Grip, A2 Flash Hider, plus two LaRue-made 20-round magazines.
