Officer Bennett died after being bitten by a rabid dog while on patrol. Officer Bennett was attempting to capture the dog as part of a county-wide effort to get unlicensed animals off the street. He was diagnosed with rabies too late to be treated, and he succumbed to the illness a little over a month later.
Officer Bennett was survived by his wife and four children. He is buried in the Cool Springs Cemetery near Doerun.
