Cleve Spurlock (1992-) was a Hope County, Montana junior deputy who played a major role in the 2018 Eden's Gate unrest in Hope County, Montana. He was recruited by the sheriff's department that same year, and he was still on probation when he, deputies Joey Hudson and Staci Pratt, and US Marshal Cameron Burke were sent to serve an arrest warrant to Eden's Gate leader Joseph Seed at his compound, resulting in an outbreak of violence which resulted in the cult shooting down the police helicopter as it took Seed away. Seed escaped following the crash, and Spurlock and Burke also escaped as the helicopter burst into flames and held off the cultists. Spurlock was separated from Burke during their escapes, and Spurlock was rescued by the local survivalist Richard Roosevelt. Spurlock and Roosevelt gathered allies from the residents of Hope County, forming a resistance which could challenge Eden's Gate's de facto control over the county. Spurlock and the resistance went on to take down Seed's brothers Jacob and John Seed before confronting Joseph Seed at his compound at Seed's invitation. Rather than kill Seed and trigger another fight, Spurlock, Sheriff Earl Whitehorse, Hudson, and Pratt decided to leave in order to contact the US National Guard and bring them in to finish off the cult.
