Tribute to a fallen officer

Story & Photo
By DEUCE NIVEN

    A good crowd was present as the intersection of SC 9 at SC 410 was dedicated in memory of Horry County Police Department’s Lt. Ronald Floyd Monday.
    Floyd, who was off duty, responded from home to a nearby prowler call 27 years ago, and lost his life when his car hit a section of highway flooded by heavy rain. He was the first Horry County Police Department officer to be killed in the line of duty.
    Family members were present, and posed under the sign after its unveiling.
