Deputy Ian Deutch
James Lacy Chaffin
Funeral services will be held Saturday in Las Vegas for a Nye County sheriff's deputy shot to death earlier this week in Pahrump.
Nye County Sheriff Anthony DeMeo said funeral services for Ian Deutch, 27, will begin at 9:30 a.m. at Canyon Ridge Church, 6200 W. Lone Mountain Road.
Deutch was fatally wounded Monday at the Terrible’s Lakeside Casino and RV in Pahrump by 30-year-old James Lacy Chaffin. Deutch underwent emergency surgery at University Medical Center but died later that night.
Chaffin was shot to death by another deputy.
DeMeo said a candlelight vigil is planned for 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Terrible’s Lakeside Casino in Pahrump.
Pahrump Family Mortuary will have a public viewing from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday at 5441 Vickie Ann Road in Pahrump, followed by Saturday's funeral in Las Vegas.
A memorial fund has been established in Deutch’s name at Nevada State Bank. The account is 0258040427.
Gov. Jim Gibbons has ordered state flags to be lowered to half-staff Saturday during Deutch's funeral services. The on-duty death was the first for the Nye County Sheriff's Office since August 1992.

R.I.P Deputy. Thank you for your service to your country and county.
This Chaffin guy SCREAMS white trash, obviously.
My heart goes out to Deputy Deutch's family, friends and co-workers.
I extend my Sympathy to your Family.
Thank you for serving our Country and as a police man
@ Seriously... you are racist, not just this one but in all of your responses. You should consider what you think and say about other racist, even if you are white. Yes the guy looks like he is beneath the dirt that people p@@ & $h!# on but you can do so without making it a matter of color.
I hope the new Vets bill provides some support to this man's family. The suspect looks like a Tbag Party Person (I'm Profiling.)
I always thought dispatchers and cops tell people to go to a crowded businesses if they feel threatened or are in danger. So I don't think that someone being chased by a gunman firing at their car should be attacked for their judgement in an emergency situation. (the way a morning hate-radio talker did on the infomercial station)
The police in Northern Ireland have worn heavy flack vests for 50 years, time to upgrade to body armor.
Seriously..Thank you for saying what everone is thinking.It's guys like him that keep the stereotype alive and well.P.S Rest in peace Officer Deutch
Metro/NHP needs to go out there a patrol during the funeral service at no cost to Nye County, so all those officers can attend. (Nevada POST covers the whole state)
This is a horrible story... R.I.P. Your a true Hero!
R.I.P Bro. You will be missed and never forgotten.
