PRESS RELEASE

On July 25, 2026 at approximately 10:20pm Tyson J. Alvares, 38yoa male, from Smithfield Utah was in the process of being booked in the Lincoln County Jail when he collapsed in a holding cell. Detention officers noticed that Alvares was not breathing and started life saving measures. Despite those efforts, Alvares was not able to be revived.

Alvares was attending the Oyster Ridge Music Festival when he was arrested by Kemmerer Police Department on charges of possession of a controlled substance, breach of peace, and disorderly conduct. Alvaris had also spit on an officer during the interaction. Because Alvares had admitted to using a controlled substance, and his behavior was very erratic, he was seen by EMT’s and cleared before being transported to the jail. He arrived at the jail at approximately at approximately 9:30pm.

Per policy, Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation was called to investigate the death.
