  • The Terry Hanson Story

    The Terry Hanson Story
    May 1 2024
    Deputy Terry Hanson was a father of four, grandfather to two, and one of the veteran cops serving with the Rice County Sheriff’s Office. Co-workers referred to him as a “Mountain of a Man”, the nicest guy, one who was always looking out for the younger deputies. He was on patrol on a Friday night when he recognized a stolen vehicle in the city of Faribault. His attempted vehicle stop resulted in the suspects fleeing, which turned into a dangerous high-speed pursuit with speeds up to 100 mph in the city. The suspects ran cars off the roadway, forced pedestrians off the road, and rammed Terry’s squad several times before finally being stopped by a roadblock. The suspects, unknown to law enforcement until they got them stopped, were two teenage girls who were runaways wanting to flee to California. Terry lost his life at the end of this incident, inspite of the desperate efforts of his partners to try and save him. Terry’s family and his fellow deputies who were there help tell this heroes story - a story that reminds us of the unseen dangers of this profession, and the sacrifices our heroes and their families make every day for our communities.

  • MURDERS IN MORRISON COUNTY

    MURDERS IN MORRISON COUNTY
    Mar 27 2024
    MURDERS IN MORRISON COUNTY "The Story of Sheriff John Stack and Chief Deputy Andrew Herlitz" If you threw a dart at the center of Minnesota, you'd likely hit Morrison County. Focused on agriculture and tourism, this was your typical rural MN county- where families and kids felt safe and crime was low back in the mid 60s. Sheriff John Stack and Chief Deputy Andrew Herlitz ran a patrol crew of four along with the county jail. Their kids tell stories of playing outside the jail, even playing board games inside the jail with inmates. It's really an interesting story of how back in the day, the entire family was involved - from cooking, to cleaning, even taking emergency phone calls. This community would change forever on October 15th when the Sheriff's Office received a call requesting assistance mediating a dispute between farmers. While some calls like this can seem routine for rural law enforcement, this call would remind this small tight knit community that no call is routine. These two heroes responded to the farm - they'd dealt with this farmer before and felt they had a good rapport with him. In the end, the county's top two law enforcement officials were ambushed and murdered leaving behind two grieving families and a stunned community asking how could this happen in Morrison County? Nearly 60 years later, the children from both families help us tell the story of these two amazing heroes, the impact they made on this community, and the legacy that continues today. We have several family pictures, newspaper articles, and evidence photos on these heroes respective websites on our page: https://www.officerdownmemorialpodcast.com/john-stack https://www.officerdownmemorialpodcast.com/andrew-herlitz This episode is sponsored by our friends at Law Enforcement Labor Services, Inc.
