Add to My HeroesMilton Curtis Alexander
Trooper Alexander was killed when a suspect intentionally rammed a stolen vehicle into his patrol car. He was assisting other officers in stopping a stolen Blazer. As the trooper attempted to get in front of the suspect, the suspect swerved into Trooper Alexander's car causing it to go into a ditch and then airborne. When the car landed the suspect rammed it again causing the blazer to overturn onto Trooper Alexander’s car. The suspect was charged with capital murder, but committed suicide before his trial.
Trooper Alexander had been with the agency for 16 years and was survived by his wife and daughter.
