What Happened
Trooper First Class Monty Mitchell suffered a fatal heart attack in the parking lot of the DuBois Station in Jefferson County.

He was transported to the Penn Highlands Dubois hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
Trooper Mitchell was a 28-year U.S Army veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He served with the Pennsylvania State Police for more than 13 years.
