Friends and neighbors of Jack Yantis came out to support the Yantis family and get answers at a town-hall, where the Adam’s County Sheriff Ryan Zollman attempted to answer questions. Two hundred angry voices expressed outrage over the lack of transparency and lies regarding the murder of Jack Yantis.
The police initially claimed that a gun fight occurred, when the cops showed up while Yantis was dealling with his angry and injured two-ton Angus bull. But Sarah, Yantis’ daughter, said that this was an altercation resulting in a “senseless murder”.
An eye witness to the shooting, Rowdy Paradis, the nephew of Yantis, said that one of the deputies grabbed at the rancher’s rifle as he attempted to take aim at the bull.
During the town-hall, Sheriff Zollman was not able to reveal details because the investigation was ongoing. He apologized to the the widow, Donna Yantis, who suffered a heart attack right after the incident, as well as to the townsfolk.

Sad
MURDER!!!!!! Plain and simple
So sorry
I’ve been trying to make people realize these cops and the way they do their buisness is out of control and the opposite of freedom …
just read this and i have to say those cops should be put in jail for murder and fired. the cops threatened the widow and the nephew ( hope im saying that correctly). and if that is true then as i said yes this was murder and those “cops” that were involved should be fired and thrown in jail. srry but those pos are the reason that cops get a bad rap
Ranchers lives matter!
Now let’s hear you stupidity and name calling because that’s all you all know how to do and never evolved past that.
That is disgusting
Well that’s the fault of everyone that remained silent and didn’t advocate for those lives. Their family, friends, community, and leaders and those screaming all lives matter.
Police pay is so poor the hiring process is woefully dangerous. To enforce law and order requires strength of character, control of ones emotions, opinions, ego and physical bodies. If police officers suffer from ego deficiencies or from lack of mental and physical self control or from fear threshold far too low for the job, it is all the same…….Civilians are killed, lives devastated because having authority and a weapon is too much responsibility for Barney. Give a vet a job! They are trained to not be stupid FIRST.
