Pope County Sheriff’s Office and other local law enforcement agencies came together to place a wreath on the steps of the Pope County Courthouse on the one-year anniversary of the tragic loss of Pope County Deputy Josh Owen, who was killed in the line of duty on April 15, 2023.  Sheriff Tim Riley placed the wreath while officers saluted the fallen fellow officer.  Deputy Nathan Brecht spoke at the ceremony thanking the community for their continued support of law enforcement and commemorating Deputy Owen for sacrificing his life to protect others.  About 100 people gathered for the ceremony on a cool, cloudy Monday morning in Glenwood.  Deputy Josh Owen was fatally wounded while responding to a domestic dispute.
