The new “Monticello flag” at City Hall is flying at half-mast, due to the recent deaths of two local law enforcement officers, who served the city of Monticello.
John Dement, a recent criminal investigator / detective, for MPD, had served in many law-enforcement capacities around Southeast Arkansas (including Star City Police Chief), before completing his career in Monticello. Det. Dement died Saturday.
Marvin Odis Allen, a longtime Monticello police officer, earned the title of chief, prior to his retirement. Chief Allen passed away Sunday.
REST IN PEACE, OFFICER DEMENT! YOU WILL BE MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW YOU AND CONSIDERED YOU A DEAR FRIEND! MY PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILY…
