             Please go to the Force 1109 Blog to hear learn more about the fallen cop. Let us hear from the fallen cop’s family member:

Summary: Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Bill Davidson stopped a vehicle on U.S. 59 in Jackson County for having a broken headlight. The driver of the vehicle, Ronald Ray Howard, shot Davidson in the neck. The vehicle Howard was driving was stolen. Howard fled the scene of the shooting, but he was arrested within a couple of hours with the murder weapon, a nine millimeter handgun loaded with hollow point bullets, in his possession. Howard confessed to killing the trooper and repeated his confession to a grand jury.

Linda Davidson, Bill's widow, asked people to remember what a wonderful man her husband was - not what kind of person Howard could have become. “It helps knowing the son of a bitch got what he deserved,” she said of Howard. “Today justice has been served. It's real frustrating - the wheels of justice turn very slowly.”  

- Linda Davidson is the widow of Trooper Bill Davidson
