Sheriff Walter Mosier was killed in an automobile accident near Hugo, Oklahoma, while returning from Texas after repossessing an automobile. Sheriff Mosier was following the repossessed vehicle at the time.

Sheriff Mosier had served with the agency for seven years. He was survived by his wife, son, and daughter.
