Constable Sam Robertson was shot and killed while raiding a poker game in Wolf Township. After arriving at the location he informed everyone there to report to him the following day, instead of arresting them that night.

While talking to the men the game's lookout guard returned to the home and observed Constable Robertson. He immediately opened fire, fatally wounding the constable.

The suspect was later arrested. He plead guilty to murder and was sentenced to life in prison.

Constable Robertson was survived by his wife and eight children.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 85th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Your granddaughter left such a beautiful tribute to you and taught us all what a man of character and integrity and wonderfu parent you were.

Rest In Peace
