Trooper Bruce Thompson Brown

I was there that terrible day. I was only 17 years old but had been a victim of the prisoner previously that year. I had to face that man in a lineup that day. The line ups there were face to face, not one way glass. I remember that there was a commotion going on but no one would tell me what was happening. It wasn’t until late that day, on the way home that I was told what had happened.

Right after that man had held me at gun point, his accomplice held a knife to my throat, I had a notion to run him over when he ran behind my car, but he hadn’t physically harmed me and I was too scared to. I have always regretted that decision.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice, Trooper Brown. I’ll never forget you or that day.
