Sergeant Dies at Club Fight

Winston-Salem (NC) Sgt. Howard Plouff was shot and killed at the scene of a large nightclub fight, the first officer to die in the line of duty there since 1995. An off-duty Forsyth Count sheriff’s deputy was working at the club when a fight broke out inside. Security guards moved the crowd outside. A sheriff’s dispatcher telephoned a Winston-Salem PD dispatcher to send officers to the club. Officers arrived to find a huge crowd, and at some point shots were fired that hit Plouff. Read the story, watch some video and listen to a logging tape excerpt here (reg. may be required).
