FEELS LIKE WILLIAM MISCANNON SERVED HIS CITY AND DID NOT DESERVE THIS
A TRUE "CITY SERVANT," WILLIAM MISCANNON, TOLDEO OHIO POLICE OFFICER, HAPPILY MARRIED FATHER OF THREE WAS A GENTLEMAN IN EVERY WAY. HE LOVED TRILLIUM FLOWERS AND COLLECTED THEM FOR HIS WIFE EVERY TIME HE SAW THEM GROWING WILD ALONG THE ROAD. HE WAS SITTING IN HIS PATROL CAR ON A STEAMY SEPTEMBER DAY IN 1970 WHEN SOMEONE APPROACHED THE CAR AND HAD A ONE SENTENCE EXCHANGE BEFORE OPENING FIRE ON WILL AND HIS PARTNER. HIS PARTNER WALTER SHAW SAW AND IDENTIFIED THE ASSAILANT BUT THE TRIAL ENDED IN A HUNG JURY. THE CASE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED CLOSED BUT IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 18TH OF 1970 PLEASE CONTACT THE TOLEDO POLICE DEPARTMENT AT 419-936-3800
