Summary:
Sheriff William Posey suffered a fatal heart attack while raiding a liquor still. The still was in an area of deep woods and steep terrain.
An ambulance was summoned when he began complaining of chest pains, but because of the remote area, could not reach him. Other officers and paramedics had to carry him on a stretcher to the waiting ambulance.
Sheriff Posey had served with the agency for 3 years. He was survived by his wife and child.
