Pontiac Officer and K-9 Killed

  • A Pontiac police officer and his K-9 partner Draco were killed when the officer's patrol car collided with another car on Interstate 55 just north of the downstate town, officials said.

    Casey Kohlmeier, 29, was in his patrol car when he was struck in a median turnaround at Illinois Route 23 around 9:30 p.m., according to police.

Deepest sympathies to the Officer,his family and his Department.

Very sad. Casey's girlfriend said, "God took them both at the same time, because He knew neither one could live without the other". Rest in Peace and thank you very much for your service.

Sorrowful news about Officer Kohlmeier and his faithful partner Draco, struck down by a drunk driver. It seems so very unfair. May they rest in Peace.
