View all 6 ReflectionsDeputy Chiara: Not sure why no postings are present from Nevada L.E. but I will chime in. Thanks for your service. Knowing the size of Battle Mountain you were probably the only deputy on duty at the time. Presently the current Sheriff's Office/Justice Center in Lander County is not far from where you died, protecting your community. Thank you for your sacrifice and your service to the great citizens of Lander County and the state of Nevada.
