Carl Plexico Baker Sr..
Dispatcher Carl Baker was stabbed to death by a man who walked into the city hall and suddenly attacked him. The man stabbed him with a knife when Dispatcher Baker told him that he did not have the authority to allow him to visit a prisoner in the jail. The suspect was apprehended a short time later. The 41-year-old suspect was in very poor health and got a lot worse in the weeks following the incident. He was admitted to the veterans hospital in Columbia where he died in 1966.

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.
Dispatcher Baker gave the Andrews Police Department 4 years.
Thank you for your service to the Andrews community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
