  • Summary

  • 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.
