AAST pays tribute to troopers killed in the line of duty
Trooper Daniel Barrett, 25, of the Indiana State Police, was killed January 27 in an automobile accident while he was traveling northbound on U.S. 31, south of State Road 110 near Rochester in Fulton County. At approximately 10:45 PM his patrol car left the roadway and struck a tree on the driver's door, causing him to suffer fatal injuries. Trooper Barrett had served with the Indiana State Police for only six months and was assigned to the Peru post. He had previously served as a correctional officer for the Indiana Department of Correction. Trooper Barrett, the 43rd Indiana state trooper to die in the line of duty, is survived by his parents, two brothers and one sister. L/Cpl. James D. Haynes, 38, of the South Carolina Highway Patrol was killed February 1 in a vehicle accident on Highway 33 while on duty in Orangeburg County as he was responding to another traffic collision. Haynes graduated from SCHP Training School in 1997 and was assigned to Troop 7, Post B, which includes Orangeburg and Calhoun counties. Haynes, the 46th member of the SCHP to die in the line of duty, is survived by his wife and two children. Sgt. Richard C. LeBow, 51, of the Arkansas State Police was killed the morning of February 4 while on duty along Interstate 40 near Mulberry. LeBow, a 27-year veteran of the ASP and the 19th Arkansas state trooper to die in the line of duty, was killed following a collision of his patrol car and a tractor trailer truck. The truck driver was treated for injuries. LeBow is survived by his wife and two sons. Please join the members of the American Association of State Troopers in keeping the families of these troopers in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
