Texas Officer's Murderer Lived In Ruston

The killing of Arlington, Texas police officer Jillian Michelle Smith on December 28, 2010 has sad ties to Ruston, Washington. The young police rookie's murderer lived in town in 2008. He was a registered sex offender and had contact with our police department when he threw his former girlfriend's dog off the deck in a fit of anger.

It's yet another a tragic reminder of the dangerous people our police protect us from and a call to stay mindful of public safety even in Ruston. You can read more details about Officer Smith and her murder here...
