Constable Arvid Lundgren

Arvid Lundgren

Constable Lundgren was shot and killed while attempting to arrest a suspect who had brandished a gun to intimidate people in a restaurant in Big Falls. He was chasing the suspect down the street when the man turned and fired, striking him in the neck. The suspect surrendered himself to a posse several days later.

On May 15, 1929, the suspect, 35, was convicted of murder and sentenced to life. He was paroled in 1963.
