On this date, April 9, 1984, Deputy Sheriff Phillip J. Pence of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office,
Ohio, was killed in the line of duty. Let us honor this fallen prison guard and
thank God that justice was served, as the prison killer, had been executed on June
8, 2004. I got the information about him from ODMP.
