A beloved Union County sergeant was killed in a freak accident that unfolded in a matter of seconds Wednesday morning.
Flags are flying at half-staff as the Union County Sheriff’s Office waits for answers about what happened.
Sgt. Jeffrey Greene is the first Union County deputy to ever die while on the job.
“Jeff Greene was a personal friend, a family man and a valuable member of our Sheriff’s Office family,” said Sheriff Eddie Cathey in a statement. “His loss is a tragedy, not only to his family and friends, but to the citizens of Union County. His orientation of service to the community was a quality that should be embraced and emulated by us all. He will be missed.”
