In researching this DUSM that was killed in the line of duty, Through the help of Scott County's local newspaper editor, it was revealed that DUSM Hughett's father was the former sheriff of Scott County and was murdered on the front porch of his home not long after he lost his re-election attempt.

After serving in the Army in the early 1900's in Southeast Asia and seeing his own father murdered at the home he was raised at, it is amazing that even while being mortally shot he still cuffed and escorted his killer to jail before passing away in the hospital just days later.

He is a good role model for present and future DUSMs in this district in selfless service and commitment to his duties.
