As you may know a Sergeant was<br />
killed in line of duty in St. Lucie today conducting<br />
a traffic stop. Friends within that<br />
agency reached out and they are hoping<br />
we could assist with a collection as he has<br />
two young children. I have been in contact<br />
with Lt. Sheagren and Lt. Patrick Major<br />
who said they would assist. Checks or<br />
money can be brought to any of the three<br />
jails and we will bring the collection to St.<br />
Lucie’s point of contact.<br />
Lt. (retired) Ronnie Roberts was honored at<br />
a luncheon this week. He is retiring from the<br />
agency after 32 years of service. Good luck,<br />
and happy retirement, Ronnie!<br />
