Summary:
Constable Sweet and his partner Doug Ramsey answered an armed robbery call at a bar on Queen St. The suspects, two Brothers were trapped in the kitchen area. The officers headed in that direction and came under fire. The suspects went down a dark stairway where Constable Sweet was hit by a bullet from a shotgun. Back-up arrived on the scene and the two officers were held hostage.
While negotiating their release one of the suspects was permitted out to bring back liquor. The suspects turned a deaf ear to the pleas of Constable Sweet who had been laying on the kitchen floor bleeding for 90 minutes. An officer at the scene reported hearing the pleas. "Help I Cannot Breathe" and then silence. His killers were captured and found guilty.
Constable Sweet had served with the agency for 6 years.
