Patrolman Hodder was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver while directing traffic on Dixwell Avenue in front of a factory. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene but was forced to the side of the road by a witness approximately 300 feet down the road and apprehended.
Patrolman Hodder had been appointed to the Hamden Police Department as a supernumerary officer on November 10, 1927, and was appointed as a regular officer the following year. He had served with the agency for a total of 15 years.
