Suffolk Police Officer
died after collapsing following a foot pursuit. Authorities say
several officers were on patrol along the 300 block of Webb Street
around 11:30pm when they noticed some suspicious activity and went
to check it out. A foot pursuit ensued and an arrest was made, but
shortly after the pursuit,
collapsed at the scene. Henley, was rushed to Obici Hospital where
he died early the next morning. Officer Henley had been with the
Suffolk Police Department since October of 2002.
The man arrested following the foot pursuit, Brian J. Ralph, was
wanted on a misdemeanor assault and battery charge in Suffolk. Ralph
was pursued for approximately 100 to 120 yards, when he was
apprehended by Officer Henley. During the pursuit there was a
collision between Officer Henley and Ralph. Neither received serious
injury as a result of that contact. After Ralph's arrest it was
learned that he was a fugitive from the State of New Jersey, where
he faces a narcotics violation charge. Ralph is in custody for the
outstanding assault and battery charge. Additional warrants for
misdemeanor escape from custody, resisting arrest and being a
fugitive from justice will be secured. In addition to the current
charges, an additional charge for a narcotics violation is pending
the result of a laboratory analysis.
Henley is survived by his wife and four children.
