Incident
Sergeant Scott Arner drowned while performing an investigation in an ice-covered mine pit on North Thicket Road.
The water-filled mine shaft was approximately 40-feet deep and had been used as a location for criminals to abandon stolen cars. After Sergeant Arner's body was recovered, he was flown to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Sergeant Arner was a U.S. Navy veteran and had served with the Jasper County Sheriff's Department for 13 years.
God rest his soul.

Tributes
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Sergeant Arner gave the Jasper County Sheriff's Office 13 years.
Thank you for your service to the Carthage community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
