Marshal Perry Haviland was shot and killed with his own weapon while struggling with a burglary suspect behind a Clay City store.
The suspect, a 25-year-old ex-convict, was identified as a result of notes that Marshal Haviland had written down when he pulled his patrol car behind the suspect's vehicle. Four days later he surrendered to police in El Paso, Texas. On October 30, 1967, he was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to life.
Marshal Haviland had served with the Clay City Police Department for five years.
