Incident
Deputy Jailer Glenn Moore was shot and killed during an escape attempt by three inmates in the Pike County Jail during the early morning hours.
One of the inmates had obtained a handgun and shot Deputy Moore when he entered the cell block to lockup another prisoner. The three inmates then stole Deputy Moore's keys and used them to escape from the jail. All three were captured within two days and charged with his murder.
Deputy, on this 50th anniversary of your heroic actions, we say thank you for service and please know that your sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten. Rest in peace always.
