A one vehicle crash has claimed the life of a
Jefferson County deputy sheriff. Friday night at approximately 10:37 p.m.
Jefferson County Sheriff's dispatch received a 911 call reporting a
sheriff's vehicle had been involved in a crash on Dugan Hollow Road near
Madison. The preliminary investigation revealed three Jefferson County
Sheriff's deputies were responding to a report of a domestic disturbance
involving weapons on Dugan Hollow Road.
Two of the deputies had just arrived at the scene and the third deputy was
very near the scene when he met a vehicle traveling westbound on the very
hilly and winding Dugan Hollow Road. The sheriff's vehicle ran off the right
side of the roadway and went down a very steep embankment and was airborne
when the driver's side of the vehicle struck a tree. Despite the fact the
deputy was wearing his seat belt, he suffered fatal head trauma and was
pronounced dead at the scene by Alice Jackson, Jefferson County Coroner.
The deputy has been identified as 35 year old Roy B. (Bruce) Sutton, Jr. of
Hanover. According to Jefferson County Sheriff Bill Andrews, Deputy Sutton
is married and has no children and had been a road deputy with the Jefferson
County Sheriff's Office for approximately 1 ½ years graduating from the
Indiana Law Enforcement Academy last May.
This crash is still under investigation. It is being investigated by Sgt.
Dan Goris of the Indiana State Police. He is being assisted by other members
of the Indiana State Police, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Madison
Township Fire Department, Madison Rescue Six, and Jefferson County Coroner's
Office.
Deputy Sutton had served with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department for
approximately one and a half years. He is survived by his wife, brother,
three sisters, and his mother. |
