🎃👻 MEET DEPUTY CHUCKLES! 🚔💀

The Benton County Sheriff’s Office would like to introduce the newest member of our graveyard shift… Deputy Chuckles!

His background is questionable, his employment history is sketchy, and nobody knows where he came from. But he volunteered for night shift, so we hired him! 🤷‍♂️😂

Deputy Chuckles has a few Halloween safety reminders:

🎃 Trick-or-Treaters: Stay visible, use sidewalks and crosswalks, and stick together!

🚗 Drivers: Slow down in neighborhoods and watch for little ghosts and goblins!

🍬 Parents: Check those treats, keep costumes safe, and accompany younger children!

🍻 Adults: Celebrate responsibly! Plan a sober ride and don’t drink and drive!

💀 And if you happen to see Deputy Chuckles patrolling your neighborhood tonight, don’t worry…

He’s mostly harmless.

We think. 😳

His body camera footage has been a little concerning. 😂

From all of us at the Benton County Sheriff’s Office, have a SAFE and SPOOKTACULAR Halloween! 🎃👻🚔

Today’s Calls for Service

Today, Benton County deputies responded to a wide range of calls, including a disturbance that was directly related to the mass-casualty incident in Pasco, death investigations, domestic violence, suspicious persons and vehicles, a weapons complaint, property damage, reckless driving, an animal complaint, and assistance requests.

Two incidents resulted in arrests, while deputies also used drone support during a foot pursuit and coordinated with neighboring law-enforcement agencies. We appreciate our community members and partner agencies for helping us keep Benton County safe.

During the foot pursuit, one deputy became familiar with the workings of an electric fence; the same deputy encountered a less-sturdy fence, creating a close call. Foot pursuits can expose deputies to unpredictable terrain, hidden hazards, and rapidly changing conditions; fortunately, the deputy was not injured.

All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

Stay safe.

Happy Halloween from the Benton County Sheriff's Office! 🎃👻🤠

On September 25, 2025, the Benton County Sheriff’s Office and local First Responders were invited to the Richland VFW Post 7952 3rd Annual Feed the Force BBQ. The event recognized local Law Enforcement, Firefighters, and Emergency Medical Services personnel for their service to the community.

Today, Kyle Saltz presented Sheriff Clark with a donation from the event to benefit the Benton County Sheriff Foundation. We sincerely thank the Richland VFW Post 7952 and its members for their generosity, continued support of first responders, and commitment to our community.

On October 28, 2026, at approximately 5:06 PM, the Benton County Sheriff’s Office Proactive Team located the second suspect connected to an alleged Assault 1 incident reported over the weekend. Deputies positioned themselves on the suspect’s vehicle while also slowing any approaching traffic.

Out of an abundance of caution and to prevent a potentially dangerous vehicle pursuit, the team deployed the Grappler system. The device successfully secured one of the vehicle’s rear tires, bringing the vehicle to a safe stop. The suspect was taken into custody without further incident and booked into the Benton County Corrections Center.

The Benton County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to proactive enforcement efforts and the use of innovative technologies to safely and effectively resolve high risk situations.

GREAT POLICE WORK THROUGH TEAMWORK! 🚔

Late Tuesday night, October 27, Benton County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a domestic disturbance involving a suspect who was reportedly threatening a family member and following her vehicle through the Tri-Cities.

Deputies arrived at the victim’s location to ensure her safety and relayed information to surrounding agencies to assist in locating the suspect.

Kennewick Police Department Sergeant Safranek located the suspect vehicle and conducted a high-risk traffic stop at Fiesta Foods in Pasco.

Officers with the Pasco Police Department quickly responded to provide cover and assist with the apprehension. The suspect was taken into custody.

👏 A special thank-you to Sergeant Safranek for his outstanding observation and initiative, and to the Pasco Police Department for their immediate response and assistance!

This incident is another great example of the strong working relationships between our local law enforcement agencies. Regardless of jurisdiction, we share the same mission: protecting our communities and keeping people safe.

Great work by everyone involved! 💙
