Samuel Angelo Macrino.
Patrolman Sam Macrino suffered a fatal heart attack shortly after struggling with two subjects outside of a club at 126 East 11th Street.
He and another officer had responded to the club to investigate reports of a fight. Once they arrived two of the men attacked the officers, but were subdued after two additional officers arrived. Both men were taken to jail.
As Patrolman Macrino secured warrants for the two men he suddenly collapsed. He was transported to Hamot Hospital where he died. The two men who attacked the officers were charged with obstructing an officer but not charged in connection with his death.
Patrolman Macrino was a WWII veteran of the United States Army Air Force.

In tribute
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.
Patrolman Macrino gave the Erie Police Department 2 years.
Thank you for your service to the Erie community. Thank you for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
