Officer Down Hickman Police Dept, Ky

I know Tim usually does this, but “Smitty” was the oldest guy in my academy class. So:

Police Officer Rodney Smith drowned when his patrol car was washed into a flooded field off of Bernal Avenue.

The area had become flooded as a result of the overflowing Bayou de Chien. He was checking the area when he went missing at approximately 9:15 pm. Multiple agencies responded to the area and began a massive search. His body and patrol were located separately in a flooded field off of Bernal Avenue the following morning.

He was In my academy class. Insane.

Also have another brother I K9 training with out of Boone County Indiana that was just shot and they are waiting to take him off life support as he’s donating his organs. 2 buddies in 2 days. Crappy.
