Deputy Killed in the Line of Duty
On Friday, December 16, 2022, at 2:46 a.m., Cumberland County Sheriff's Office Deputies were investigating a business robbery at 2990 Gillespie Street. As deputies returned from running a canine track, our Deputy, who was walking, was hit by a vehicle. The driver left the accident scene but was located a short distance away.
Deputies on the scene immediately administered lifesaving efforts. Our Deputy was transported by ambulance to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and the North Carolina State Highway Patrol are the investigating agencies.
We ask the community to join us as we pray for our Deputy's Family.
More information will be released at the appropriate time.
