Constable Paris and another member were in a car chase trying to make an arrest of a bootlegger.

With Constable Paris on the running board, the suspect attempted to shake him off by speeding and rocking the car from side to side. The car ended up crashing into a fence on the grounds of a new high school.

A board from the fence impaled Constable Paris and it was necessary to free him with a regular handsaw. He passed away several days later.
