Roll of Honor
Incident
Sergeant Marc Muncy was killed after his patrol car collided with a tractor-trailer and burst into flames as he was responding to a call for backup at 7:30 p.m. He was traveling eastbound on an Interstate 270 overpass when he swerved to avoid a wooden pallet in the road. His police cruiser crossed the median and spun up on two wheels. The truck attempted to avoid the collision by swerving, but the car still struck the front of the trailer. The car immediately leaked fuel and ignited. Sergeant Muncy was a United States Army military police veteran who had served with the Columbus Police Department and previously served with the Reynoldsburg Police Department for 2 years. Survivors include his wife, daughter, son, and mother. Sergeant Muncy was posthumously promoted to the rank of sergeant.

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 Muncy gave the Columbus Division of Police 11 years.
Thank you for your service to the Columbus community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
