On Patrol: Live fans were not happy when they learned that the Nye County Sheriff’s Office out of Pahrump, NV was parting ways with the show. This news followed on the heels of learning Weld County Sheriff’s Office out of Colorado would be joining the show.
While viewers hope Weld County can step up and feel the void left behind by Nye County, they fear the new Sheriff’s Office just won’t offer the same type of entertainment.
Now, the Nye County Sheriff’s Office did issue a statement saying goodbye to fans of the series. And, On Patrol: Live reshared the statement on the show’s official Facebook page. The statement, however, didn’t really offer a reason why. Why did Nye County decide to part ways with the show after being part of On Patrol: Live since the series premiere back in 2022?
Doing a bit of deep diving, fans of the reality TV series that follows live police situations discovered a deputy-involved shooting that took place last weekend is the culprit. The shooter was Nye County Deputy Nicholas Huggins, whom fans of On Patrol: Live are very familiar with. Surprisingly, the individual who was shot was also on an earlier episode of the series as well.
Why Nye County Exited On Patrol: Live? Deputy-Involved Shooting
According to the Pahrump Valley Times, 67-year-old John Beaudoin was identified as the suspect shot and killed by Deputy Nicholas Huggins. It was on October 8 around 5 P.M. when deputies were dispatched to the property of John Beaudoin. Reports confirm this was one of many responses to the home over the last couple of months.
During a 911 phone call, which can be heard in the Nye County Sheriff’s Office’s briefing of the incident, John’s son felt apologetic when he called for help. His son knew his father had firearms, said things were getting “intense,” and there was a serious concern for safety. John’s son also called attention to his father being a felon and questioned whether he should legally have firearms.
After arriving at the scene, Nye County Deputy Nicholas Huggins informed John Beaudoin he was ordering a search warrant. He proceeded to explain his son told him of his firearms and described exactly where they were.
John Beaudoin Refused To Go To Jail
Going back into his home, John Beaudoin called 911 to tell his side of the story. He explained that he would shoot himself before he went back to jail.
I’m on Bunarch Road and Deputy Meyers said that he’s going to come and get me. But to tell you the truth, I’m going to kill myself before I go outside. I’m John Beaudoin, I didn’t do nothing wrong, but I’m going to kill myself before I go outside. I’m not going to jail again. You guys can have all of the s**t that I got. I don’t care no more.
Unsuccessful nonlethal measures were taken to subdue John Beaudoin. Unfortunately, Nye County Deputy Nicholas Huggins was forced to open fire on John. He opened fire after John went into the house and pointed his gun out the door.
Per standard protocol, Nye County Deputy Nicholas Huggins is on administrative leave while the situation is investigated. Unfortunately, fans believe the heat of this case is why Nye County exited On Patrol: Live.
