On May 3, 1978, Carson Station Deputies Wally Hannan and Ernie Archuleta were responding Code 3 to an assistance request from another deputy. A vehicle pulled out in front of them and Deputy Hannan swerved to avoid hitting it. When he did so he lost control of his radio car and it struck a metal utility pole. Deputy Hannan died instantly. Deputy Archuleta suffered serious injuries which eventually forced him to medical retire.

Deputy Hannan died just two days after his 29th birthday. He joined the Sheriff’s Department on March 6, 1972. At the time of his death, he lived in Los Alamitos with his wife, Robin, and two children. In early July 1978, the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration gave $50,000 to his family. This money was awarded through the Public Safety Officers Benefit Act.

DEVELOPING: A massive search and rescue operation is currently underway in southwestern Morocco following the disappearance of two U.S. Army soldiers on Saturday, May 2.

According to a statement released Sunday by U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), the service members were participating in African Lion 2026, the command's largest annual multinational exercise, when they went missing near the Cap Draa Training Area outside the city of Tan Tan. Preliminary reports indicate the soldiers were on a recreational hike after the day’s scheduled training had concluded and were last seen near sea cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. 

Key Details of the Incident:

Location: The rugged, mountainous terrain of the Cap Draa Training Area, characterized by desert plains and steep coastal cliffs. 

Search Effort: A joint task force of U.S. and Moroccan personnel is utilizing ground teams, helicopters, maritime vessels, and divers to scour the coastline and surrounding wilderness. 

Exercise Background: African Lion 2026 is a premier military drill involving over 7,000 personnel from more than 30 nations, designed to bolster interoperability and counterterrorism capabilities across North and West Africa. 

While the incident is still under investigation, defense officials have suggested that the disappearance appears to be an accident unrelated to the active military drills.

AFRICOM has stated that their primary focus remains on the safety of the service members and supporting their families as the search enters its second day.

Thoughts and prayers with the Minnesota State Trooper who was seriously injured last night in South Minneapolis.🙏🏻

A Minnesota State Trooper was injured when a stolen car carrying three people ran a stop sign and T-boned their squad car. 

Officials say the incident started around 10:30 p.m. Friday in St. Paul's Highland Park neighborhood. A Ramsey County Sheriff's deputy saw the stolen car, a Hyundai sedan, and attempted a traffic stop. The driver of the car fled to Minneapolis. 

The deputy originally pursued the car but ended the pursuit after losing sight of the Hyundai, according to the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.

The state trooper was removed from the squad car and taken to a nearby hospital. The trooper suffered significant injuries, according to officials.
