Goelet Beuf

Officer Beuf responded to a call where a suspicious man was loitering on the roadside. When the suspect saw the officer approaching he ran. Officer Beuf pursued the suspect and caught him on the side of the roadway. As the two struggled, they fell into the path of a slow moving tractor-trailer. The trailer stopped, but Officer Beuf and the suspect were entangled in the front axle. Officer Beuf was airlifted to a local hospital where he died of his injuries. The suspect was sentenced to four years in jail for his role in the death.
