OFFICER: NORBERT E. TUCK      

DEPARTMENT: Laramie County Sheriff's Office

DATE OF INCIDENT: February 15, 1961 

DETAILS: Sheriff Tuck was killed when his car was struck by a freight train on the western city limits of Toledo, Ohio.  He had gone to Toledo to transport a prisoner back to Wyoming on a non-support charge.  Authorities believed that Sheriff Tuck saw the flashing train crossing signals too late, since his car left 200 feet of skid marks on Highway 30, eventually coming to rest broadside on the railroad tracks.
