Statement From AG Yost on Sentencing of Cop Killer

9/23/2019

(COLUMBUS, Ohio) — The following statement may be attributed to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost regarding today’s sentencing of the man who murdered Clermont County Deputy Bill Brewer:

“All of Ohio should be glad that this cop killer has been put away behind bars for the rest of his life and then some, where he’ll be justly forgotten and will never again be able to hurt anybody. But our memory and our gratitude today should be with Bill Brewer, the officer he killed in the line of duty. His valor that day, his service to the community should make all of us proud, and we should remember him and honor him in all the days ahead.”
