Retired Police Officer Passes Away Unexpectedly

Funeral arrangements are pending for a former Charleston police officer, who passed away last weekend. Jerry Hill died at the age of 54, and that was the reason for the black ribbons Monday at Charleston City Hall. Hill was a retired city police officer who served 27 years at the department, and WCHS TV reports he passed away late Sunday night or early Monday morning after suffering a medical crisis. Hill most recently served as grounds director at the city of Charleston, and his son Jonathan is a current Charleston police officer.
