Sergeant Malloy, the department's liquor enforcement officer, was shot and killed while attempting to search a wagon for illegal liquor. During the search, the suspect on the wagon shot him in the chest.
Sergeant Malloy had been with the Kennebec County Sheriff's Office for 22 years. He was survived by his wife and three sons.
He was a Union Civil War Veteran who served as a private in the 173rd New York Infantry, Company F. On June 14, 1863, he was shot in the left arm during the siege of Port Hudson, Louisiana, and was released and sent home.
