“The men and women that you see here behind me all knew our deputy and he was so well-liked, and so well known, to we could fill this building with the law enforcement agencies who love and respect him and his family,” she said.

At the University of Cincinnati’s afternoon graduation ceremony, UC President Neville Pinto addressed the crash and held a moment of silence in honor of the deputy.
