Today, we honor the life, legacy, and service of Deputy Oscar Honea. On this date in 1914, Deputy Honea was tragically killed in the line of duty while searching for a fugitive near Mayflower. Deputy Honea left behind a loving wife and nine children. Earlier this year, the family of Deputy Honea donated his duty weapon, which was one of the first handguns to be carried by a Faulkner County Deputy, to the Faulkner County Sheriff's Office to be displayed as a historical piece. This particular handgun retired with Deputy Honea at the time of his death. Deputy Honea may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. A hero remembered never dies! End of Watch: October 22, 1914.
