This cache is hidden in memory of Officer Will Phillips of the Greenfield Police Department.
Officer William Phillips was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver while on bike patrol training at approximately 12:45am on September 30, 2010 in Henry County.
Officer Phillips and two other members of the bike patrol team had just finished their shift and were conducting a training ride on department-issued bicycles. While they were riding westbound on U.S. 40 near the Knightstown High School, he was struck from behind by the driver of a vehicle who then fled the scene. All of the officers were wearing helmets and had lights on their bicycles.
The 59-year-old female suspect driver later surrendered and was charged with failure to stop after a fatal accident. She was subsequently sentenced to only two years of home confinement.
Officer Phillips had served with the Greenfield Police Department for nearly 4½ years and had previously served with the McCordsville Police Department. He was a US Marine Corps veteran, and he is survived by his wife, 2- and 5-year-old sons, two sisters, and his parents.
Officer Phillips boys were recently introduced to Geocaching and wanted to place a cache for their dad. Cache is very easy to find. BYOP. Tweezers might be helpful also.
