Buccaneers honor sheriff's deputy killed in line of duty

The Bucs held a snapshot of quietness for Path as a picture of Path showed up on the Jumbotron at Raymond James Arena.


"Much obliged to you @Buccaneers for regarding our legend Representative Path today. Your affection and backing for policing military is genuinely great. We value you," Polk Province Sheriff Grady Judd composed.

Path was just 21 years of age when he was killed by an individual representative's gunfire while serving a warrant in Polk City, Florida. They were serving Cheryl Lynn Williams, a 46-year-old, for her supposed inability to show up on a crime meth warrant.


Representative Path was outside a trailer home while three different delegates — Sgt. Michael Creeks and appointees Johnny Holsonback III and Adam Pennell — entered the trailer. Williams ventured into view with a reasonable looking BB firearm and pointed it at officials, specialists said, as the delegates moved toward a gaming room of the trailer and shots were discharged.

Path, who was surveilling the trailer in the event that Williams attempted to escape, was shot in the arm, yet a slug entered his chest. He was taken to Lakeland Provincial Clinical Center, where he later kicked the bucket.


A commemoration administration is being held for him Oct. 11 at 10 a.m. at Triumph Church in Lakeland. His family has mentioned gifts to Polk Sheriff's Causes, Inc., in memory of Path.


Path, who turned into a delegate sheriff in January 2022, is made due by a 3-year-old girl.
