OFF-DUTY MARYLAND STATE TROOPER INJURED IN HIT AND RUN IN CAROLINE CO.

Maryland State Police Press Release
05/22/2013 23:58

OFF-DUTY TROOPER INJURED IN HIT AND RUN IN CAROLINE CO.
(DENTON, MD) – An off-duty state trooper is being treated for injuries he sustained when he apparently confronted vandalism suspects in a car and was dragged by the car when the driver accelerated and fled the scene in Caroline County earlier this evening.

Maryland State Police are still investigating the incident. Details are incomplete at this time.

The trooper is an eight-year veteran of the Maryland State Police assigned to the Easton Barrack. He is currently undergoing treatment at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center where hospital officials say he is listed in critical condition.

The preliminary investigation by the Maryland State Police Criminal Enforcement Division indicates that at about 7:15 p.m. today, the trooper was traveling off-duty in the area of 7th Street and Market Street in Denton when he observed several people in a car ahead of him who appeared to be involved in some type of vandalism. The trooper exited his car and approached the car ahead of him on foot.

While the trooper was talking with the three individuals in the car, all apparently juveniles, preliminary information indicates the driver accelerated and the trooper was somehow dragged by the vehicle an undetermined distance down the road. The trooper became dislodged from the vehicle and fell to the roadway. The suspect vehicle fled the scene.

The trooper was flown by a Maryland State Police helicopter to the Shock Trauma Center. State and local police began a search for the suspect vehicle. A suspect vehicle has been located and three individuals are currently being questioned by State Police investigators.

No further information is available at this time. Additional information will be provided when it becomes available, probably at some point tomorrow morning.

The investigation is continuing.

Eagle Archive ExploreCarroll.com: PFC Ronald Kenny, 18, Binh Dinh province Feb. 19, 1966 by Kevin Dayhoff

PFC Ronald Kenny, 18, Binh Dinh province Feb. 19, 1966

This Memorial Day we remember the service and sacrifice of a fallen son of Carroll, Ronald M. Kenny

My God, we were so young…

My Memorial Day column this Sunday in the Carroll County section of the Baltimore Sun, http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/, is Ron Kenny, a 1965 graduate from Robert Moton High School and the first son of Carroll to be killed in Vietnam… http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2013/05/eagle-archive-explorecarrollcom-pfc.html


In past Carroll Eagle Archives columns we have shared the stories of some of the eighteen fallen heroes from the Vietnam War who faces are etched in the black granite memorial in the Carroll County Vietnam Memorial Park on Willis Street.

The stories of Frederick John Magsamen, Christopher Jesse Miller, Jr., Stanley Groomes, Joseph William Blickenstaff, Herbert Eugene Mulkey, Jr., James Norman Byers and Sherman E. Flanagan, Jr., have been told.

Very little has been written about Private First Class (PFC) Kenny. In my research I came across a You Tube, “An Khe, Vietnam; “Films of 1st Cavalry Air Mobile at An Khe, Vietnam, filmed between December 1965 and January 1966…” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD81o3yYwV0

“Films of 1st Cavalry (Air Mobile) at An Khe, Vietnam, filmed between December 1965 and January 1966. Films were done as part of a briefing for the Army leadership.”


Kenny had entered the Army following graduation. In November 1965 he was stationed in central-coastal Vietnam in an area remembered for its heavy combat and high American casualties at the time.

Kenny was deployed with C Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division; which can trace its roots as far back as 1855, when it was organized and deployed in Texas in the Native American Plains Wars. The 5th Calvary regiment participated in twelve campaigns in Vietnam.

Kenny was killed in action in the ‘Iron Triangle’ region of Binh Dinh province, in Vietnam Feb. 19, 1966, along with Sgt. Elzie Jefferson Collins, Jr., and Sgt. Freddie Wallace Green. This was soon after the Battle of Bong Son – Operation Irving, January 28 to February 12, 1966.

Bong Son was essentially the second major battle of the war, not that long after the 5th Cavalry had been engaged in the Battle of Ia Drang, November 14-18, 1965, also in Binh Dinh. Many know Binh Dinh as where An Khe and Camp Radcliff were located.

The area known as the Iron Triangle was a heavily fortified position about 12-miles below Bong Son in the hills south and east of the Kim Son Valley, and was defended by a combined Viet Cong (VC) – North Vietnamese Army (NVA) force that included the Sao Vang - Yellow Star – Division, 2nd VC Main Force Regiment, and the acclaimed NVA 22nd Regiment.
