William Alton Roberson Jr. served in the U.S. Army.
Patrolman Bill Roberson was killed in an automobile crash during a pursuit. Patrolman Roberson was assisting a neighboring agency in the pursuit of a vehicle that fled a traffic stop. As the chase approached Graham, Patrolman Roberson attempted to intercept the fleeing vehicle on East Hanover Road. The driver, traveling over 100 mph, navigated the curve in the wrong lane. He crashed into Patrolman Roberson in a head-on collision, pushing his patrol car 25 feet backward. They were both pronounced dead at the scene. Patrolman Roberson was a U.S. Army veteran of the Vietnam War and served with the Graham Police Department for over four years.

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