Adrian, MI – Michigan State Representative Bronna Kahle has introduced a plan that will honor a fallen first responder in the city of Adrian.
House Bill 6229 will rename a portion of M-34 the ‘Patrolman Bobby Lynn Williams Memorial Highway’ beginning at the intersection with South Main Street and extending west to the intersection with South Madison Street.
Patrolman Williams was shot and killed on June 30th, 1975 after stopping a vehicle that had been involved in a robbery and kidnapping of a gas station attendant. Williams was able to return fire and strike the vehicle, forcing the perpetrator to abandon it. The shooter was later apprehended and sentenced to life without parole.
