LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) _ An Arkansas sheriff who caught the men responsible for
the 2010 slaying of two police officers is featured in the new National Law
Enforcement Museum that’s opening this weekend in Washington, D.C.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports the story of Monroe County Sheriff Michael Neal is exhibited in the $100 million museum, which will open to the public on Saturday.
Visitors can walk past a bullet-riddled Arkansas Game and Fish Commission
truck. Neal was a commission officer when he used the vehicle to stop two men
who had fatally shot two West Memphis police officers.
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund CEO Craig Floyd says the truck
is evidence of “law enforcement’s willingness to put themselves at risk for the
safety and protection of others.”
