Whereas, Deputy Sheriff Cannon was employed with the Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services before becoming a Deputy Sheriff for Richland County in October 2003; and
Whereas, due to his charismatic nature, sincerity towards others, and his professionalism, Deputy Sheriff Cannon was promoted by the Richland County Sheriff's Department to work on the Community Action Team in northern Richland County; and
Whereas, he was know in the communities that he patrolled as a man of action and one who listened to the needs of his neighbors; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were saddened to learn of his tragic death that occurred during the pursuit of a vehicle along Interstate Highway 20 on May 4, 2005; and
