(NORTH VERNON) - A significant segment of the U.S. 50 Bypass at North Vernon will be named “Officer Anthony Burton and Reserve Officer Lonnie Howard Memorial Highway” at a presentation scheduled to take place next Wednesday, Sept. 5th at 10:30 a.m.
The Indiana Department of Transportation will unveil memorial signage as state representatives read House Resolution #14 at ceremonies in the south parking lot at Lord of Life Lutheran Church.
The church is located at 3300 North State Road 3 along the U.S. 50 Bypass near the very site where North Vernon law enforcement officers were killed in 1993 following a standoff--the suspect intentionally crashed his vehicle into the policemen's patrol car.
State Representatives Jim Lucas and Randy Frye will be joined by Mayor Mike Ochs, Police Chief James Webster, Pastor Adrian Krebs and INDOT personnel in addressing families of the fallen officers at Wednesday's public event.
