Mt. Vernon police officer killed in crash identified
“Officer Lopez is a 12 year veteran of Law Enforcement and had found his niche in Mount Vernon. He loved the community and the community loved him. Officer Lopez will not be able to be replaced due to his efforts to make Mount Vernon Police Department better for our citizens. His love of people was evident and his heart of service was extraordinary!”
Some Mount Vernon residents echoed those sentiments. It was prior to the Chief Herrington releasing a name so they weren’t comfortable going on camera but said Officer Lopez was community oriented in his policing and always willing to help. He had a special place in his heart for animals in need and always carried pet food in his patrol car to feed hungry strays.
Summerdale Police Chief, Kevin Brock is charged with investigating the accident. He said this one is tough because he knew Lopez personally. “I did know the officer. He did work here for a minute, a couple years back and moved on,” Brock recalled. “He’s from the Mobile area originally. Good guy. Has a good family. Has some sweet girls who are in college at the moment so I’m sure they are needing everybody’s payers.”
As of Tuesday afternoon, the identity and condition of the driver and passenger in the pickup that hit officer Lopez had not been released.Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are. Available free in the
