TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The sister of a Hillsborough County Sheriff's
Office sergeant who was killed on duty says a motorcycle ride
arranged in his honor was "just overwhelming."
Sgt. Ron Harrison was killed two years ago. The 55-year-old
deputy was fatally shot while driving his patrol car in the Brandon
area east of Tampa. The man accused of killing Harrison was killed
by SWAT sharpshooters.
Harrison's sister, Artesa Bohannon, attended the Ride for Ron
Memorial on Saturday. About 200 people gathered for the event.
The ride was also a fundraiser for Mothers Against Drunk
Driving.
