Arkansas Deputy Killed in On-Duty Crash

Sebastian County Cpl. Terry Johnson died Saturday after becoming trapped inside his patrol vehicle.


"He was a man of good moral character and a good Christian," Hollenbeck said. "He consistently did an outstanding job as a patrol deputy. He is the type of deputy every sheriff would want to work for him."

Johnson's calm demeanor earned the respect of everyone who know him and made him a true leader among his fellow deputies, Hollenbeck said.

"He treated people with courtesy and kindness," Hollenbeck said. "He was fair. He was a gentle giant."
