Fallen Deputy Support Fund

Hello my name is Nick, I'm a deputy with the Lyon County Sheriff's Office.  Myself along with the rest of the deputies at Lyon county are saddened by the loss of a brother and understand the tremendous toll it takes on family and loved ones.  Please help us to raise some funds for his family, no amount of money can ease the pain that losing a father and husband causes but it can help reduce the financial burden that follows. 
Thank you for your contribution.  And God bless. 



Shortly after 2AM August 15, 2015, deputies responded to the report of a male/female domestic battery in the 4100 block of Montez Drive in east Carson City. Deputies met with a woman who had what they call visible injuries as a result of a fight. Deputy Carl Howell then attempted to meet with 30-year-old Jonathan Pope, who was aware deputies had been called. As Howell approached the door, Pope appeared with a gun. They both fired and both were hit. Pope was pronounced dead at the scene; Howell died after being taken to a hospital.

More deputies were called to the scene to secure the home and the three children and one adult who were inside.

Howell was a nine-year veteran of the department who leaves a wife and four young children.


This fund is being created to help the Howell family.  100% of the money raised goes to them.
