Officer Robert Winget succumbed to injuries sustained in an ATV accident while patrolling a remote area near the Stanislaus River at 11:40 am.
A search party was formed after dispatchers received an indecipherable radio transmission from him and then were unable to make further contact with him. He was located approximately 90 minutes later.
He was transported to Doctors Medical Center, in Modesto, where he succumbed to his injuries a short time later.
Officer Winget was a US Marine Corps veteran and had served with the Ripon Police Department for 3 years. He previously served with the Los Angeles Police Department for 20 years and the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department for 14 years. He is survived by his wife, son, and three daughters.

View all 295 ReflectionsHey Bobby, it’s been a while. I stopped by Burwood and visited your plot on one of my last visits home. It’s been 15 years and I miss you and your shenanigans as much as the day you were taken from us. Thank you again for all the wisdom you imparted on me for the short time we knew each other. Keep an eye out for us from up there old man :)
