Trooper

End of Watch: Saturday, July 2, 1977

Trooper Cleveland was shot and killed during a traffic stop near Lafayette, Louisiana. The suspect had just been released from prison for a murder he committed while he was a juvenile. The suspect was sentenced to death and was the last prisoner to be executed by the electric chair in Louisiana.

RIP Trooper Cleveland

fricking Dalton Prejean...
Cleveland stopped Prejean's brother over something petty, a broken or burned out tail light or brake light, I think. He was writing the brother a ticket, when Dalton exited the car and shot him. He said he did it because Cleveland was "treating his brother rough."

He killed a cabbie as a juvenile and had been released just a short time, maybe a few months, before he murdered Cleveland.

The guy was legitimately retarded. His IQ was about 60. But what the frick was going on in that kid's head?

Sr Helen Prejean (no relation) made him famous in her book "Dead Man Walking."
