Patrolman MacLean was shot and killed while attempting to serve a warrant on a man for writing bad checks. He chased the man into a hotel room on East 1st Street where the suspect shot him three times. The suspect then ran out into the street, stole an automobile from a woman, and escaped.
On April 14, 1935, the suspect was captured after a spectacular chase, during which he was shot, on the downtown streets of Cheyenne, Wyoming. He was convicted of first degree murder on May 25, 1935, and sentenced to life.
