Thomas F. Malloy.
Sergeant Malloy, the department's liquor enforcement officer, was shot and killed while attempting to search a wagon for illegal liquor. During the search, the suspect on the wagon shot him in the chest. Sergeant Malloy had been with the Kennebec County Sheriff's Office for 22 years. He was survived by his wife and three sons. He was a Union Civil War Veteran who served as a private in the 173rd New York Infantry, Company F. On June 14, 1863, he was shot in the left arm during the siege of Port Hudson, Louisiana, and was released and sent home. His wound came after an attack by the Union Army on the Port Hudson fort, which was repulsed by the rebels resulting in heavy Union losses. Sergeant Malloy was an inmate at the National Soldiers Home in Sodus, Maine, and was appointed a Special Sergeant by the Sheriff.

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.
Sergeant Malloy gave the Kennebec County Sheriff's Office 22 years.
Thank you for your service to the Augusta community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
