Governor Mark Gordon has ordered both the U.S and Wyoming flags to be lowered to half-staff statewide on Friday, March 1 from sunrise to sunset in honor and memory of Sergeant Nevada Krinkee of the Sheridan Police Department. Sergeant Krinkee, age 33, was killed in the line of duty on February 13 while serving court documents to a house squatter who ultimately was killed by police.
Sgt. Krinkee was raised primarily in Bozeman, Montana where he graduated from Bozeman High School in 2009. His obituary in the Sheridan press says, “When not on the soccer field, he could be found playing Rock Band and other video games with good friends or subjecting his sister to heavy metal music on the 7am car ride to school.”
He joined the Sheridan Police Department in 2017. Nevada quickly developed a passion and dedication for his work as a police officer. He became a Corporal in 2019 and a Sergeant in 2022
Sergeant Krinkee leaves behind his wife and baby daughter Bella, as well as his mom, dad and several brothers and sisters.
The sergeant will be interred Friday in Sheridan.
