Trooper John P. Clinton (Oct. 1898 - Jan. 8, 1923) made the ultimate sacrifice on this day in 1923, says a release from the Michigan State Police.
Tpr. John P. Clinton was killed on duty while riding a disabled motorcycle that was being towed by another vehicle near Grandville, Michigan. The tow rope became entangled and Trooper Clinton was thrown to his death.
Trooper Clinton was the third MSP officer to die in the line of duty.
