From The Marion County Sheriff’s Office
The Marion County Council recently approved a proclamation officially making December 17th Michael Latu Day in Marion County.
Deputy “Mike” Latu was killed in the line of duty on December 17, 2019, in a single-vehicle crash under the highway 76/501 overpass (near Walmart) while responding to assist another deputy. We are asking our community to join us in remembering Mike by wearing blue, hanging a blue ribbon, or general acts of kindness. Let us come together to remember and honor our friend and brother. Mike will never be forgotten. #149
