James Terry Garrison

Deputy James Garrison was killed when his patrol car was broadsided while attempting to intercept two vehicles that were drag racing on Highway 30.

Deputy Garrison was crossing Highway 30 from a side street in High Ridge in an attempt to apprehend a reported drag race in progress approaching westbound lanes. A truck driven by a DUI male driving east on Highway 30 failed to yield to Deputy Garrison's vehicle, striking the patrol car in the driver's side door. He succumbed to his injuries while being transported to a hospital.

Deputy Garrison had served with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department for 10 years. He was survived by his wife, five children, parents, and siblings.

42 years. I wonder what you’d be like now. Would you be proud of us all? What kind of grandpa would you have been? I wonder if the family would have stayed closer if you where still here? I wonder where in your career you would have went? How many people you could have helped?
Miss you.
