Wyoming police sergeant shot, killed during attempt to serve trespass warning: 'Shocked and saddened'
Law enforcement agencies in Wyoming are mourning the loss of a sergeant after he was shot and killed during an attempt to serve a trespass warning on Tuesday.
Sgt. Nevada Krinkee of the Sheridan Police Department died at the hospital Tuesday afternoon after he was shot while trying to serve a trespass warning to a man near the intersection of 5th Street and Val Vista Street in Sheridan, Chief Travis Koltiska announced.
Krinkee was sworn into the department on Oct. 11, 2017, according to the Sheridan WY Police and Fire Facebook page. He was also an Army veteran, local news outlets reported.

The suspect has not yet been identified as of early Wednesday morning.

“We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Police Sergeant Nevada Krinkee, who was killed in the line of duty while selflessly serving our community. His loss serves as a solemn and heartbreaking reminder of the risks our law enforcement officers face every day,” Bridger wrote. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Sergeant Krinkee’s family, loved ones, the Sheridan Police Department, and other first responders during this difficult time.”

Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Trevor McDonald, RHP
Jameson Taillon has had a rough year, but also has made some very good starts, including last time out, last Tuesday against the A’s. Hope that continues.
Current Giants are batting .169 (11-for-65) against Taillon, though with four home runs (two by Rafael Devers, one each by Matt Chapman and Willy Adames). That should not surprise you.
Keep the ball in the yard tonight, Jamo.
Trevor McDonald is making his ninth MLB start. Of the previous eight, six have come this year, so he comes in with just 52 innings of MLB experience. He was the Giants’ 11th round pick out of George County High School in Lucedale, Mississippi in 2019, and I mention the specific school because that’s the same school that produced Justin Steele.
Of his six starts this year, five were decent to good, he got pounded in the other one May 22 by the White Sox (seven runs in 3.2 innings).
McDonald has never faced the Cubs. The only Cub who’s seen him is Michael Conforto (1-for-3).
Here is the weather forecast for the area around Wrigley Field.
Today’s game is on NBC (full national broadcast, no blackouts). It’s also streaming on Peacock. Announcers: Jason Benetti, Jim Deshaies and Hunter Pence. Anthony Rizzo is the dugout reporter.
Here is the complete MLB.com live streaming page for today.

Shannon Woodard, interim executive director of DNDA, visited Mechanics Bank in The Junction this week to accept a $7,500 grant that’ll help support the housing/art/community nonprofit’s work. One big event ahead: The Arts-in-Nature Festival returns on Saturday, June 27, 10 am-8 pm, at Camp Long (5200 35th SW). Admission will be free, and you’ll be able to wander the park to enjoy music, movement, and storytelling performances, as well as immersive art installations in the park’s rustic cabins. Accepting the grant, Woodard told Mechanics Bank’s Andrew Tento (pictured above with her) and Bob Livingston that though her role as interim executive director is new, she’s been on the DNDA board since 2015, and has worked in the housing sector, setting her up for leadership in DNDA’s housing work, too. “As well as providing affordable housing, we prove community,” Woodard noted – and that’s what the June 27 festival will be about, too.
