Sergeant Owen T. Farley, 37, was shot and killed by a robbery suspect. After arresting a man and woman in possession of a car that investigators believed was used in a robbery in Ogden, Farley transported them to police headquarters for questioning.
As he pulled away from the curb at this location, the male suspect produced a gun and shot him in the stomach. Farley died a short time later at a local hospital. Married and the father of three children, he is buried in the Heber City Cemetery.
