[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2573541, member: 8377"] Thanks brother. his memorial page is here: [url]http://www.odmp.org/officer/9176-deputy-sheriff-cleo-meeks[/url] For some reason the photo is not correct, and either my recollection of the story is incorrect or he was actually shot twice. What I am sure of was the caliber of the weapon used. [B][I]Deputy Meeks was shot and killed while serving an arrest warrant. At about 8 P.M. he was assisting a Kiowa County deputy sheriff in serving an arrest warrant on a 19 year old man for narcotics. As the deputies approached the house the young man's father opened fire on the deputies, wounding both. Deputy Meeks was shot in the head and chest. The target of the arrest warrant dragged the wounded deputy to safety and called police and medical assistance, but he died before help could arrive. The Kiowa County deputy survived his wounds. The suspect was arrested for the deputy's murder. The suspect was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life on December 11, 1967. [/I][/B] It is my understanding that my uncle knew the family of the suspect being served which is why he was along for the service. The correct picture and a little more to the story can be found here:[url]http://www.oklemem.com/Agencies/Washita%20County%20Sheriffs%20Office.htm[/url] Third photo down. [/QUOTE]
