Prestonsburg is a small Kentucky town along a fork of the Big Sandy, and over the past week it’s buried three police officers gunned down in the line of duty.
“I never could dream or have a nightmare such as we’ve seen,” Prestonsburg Police Chief Randy Woods told mourners at the Wednesday, July 6, funeral for his captain, Ralph Harlow Frasure.
Authorities said Lance Preston Storz kicked off a June 30 ambush at his Allen home when a team of law enforcement officers arrived to serve him a warrant tied to allegations of spousal abuse. Prosecutors have charged him with shooting to death Frasure, 60; fellow officer Jacob Russell “Jake” Chaffins, 28; and Floyd County Sheriff’s Deputy William Edward Petry, 60. He also faces attempted murder charges for seriously wounding four other officers.
