Frank Arthur Story

Officer Frank Story was shot and killed with his partner's weapon after he and his partner stopped a tractor-trailer on U.S. Highway 86 near Imperial.

As Officer Story's partner returned to the cruiser to call in the license information, the truck driver grabbed his partner's weapon and killed him. His partner retrieved Officer Story's weapon and was able to overpower the suspect and take him into custody.

The subject had been driving a stolen rig. He was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison, where he died.

Officer Stroy had served with the California Highway Patrol for over a year. He was survived by his wife, infant daughter, and parents.

Sandra Goff Brandt. I knew, respected and admired your Dad. We rode graveyard shift together in 68. He had a part-time business and told me about his daughter who was an airline stewardess and he got to fly all over for the cost of taxes only. He never complained about what happened only that he wished he could change it. He was a true Warrior, friend and good man.
