Today, we remember Patrolman Paul E. Marston ( #138).
On June 9, 1969, Patrolman Marston was shot and killed by prison escapee Danny Lee Eckard during a gun battle on a farm in Chino Valley. Eckard was then fatally shot by Patrolman Ron Mayes, who was riding with Marston. Patrolman Marston was 31 years old and had served with AZDPS for five years at the time of his death.
