Officer Michael Haynes died yesterday at about 0830 from injuries suffered in a head on collision 3 days prior. He was hit head on by a suspected drunk doing well over 100 mph right around Somers MT.

The Funeral is Tuesday.
Thank you....

How sad........... Prayers and condolences go out for Michael, his family and friends. May he rest in peace and the lord watch his family..

The longer I live in Montana the more respect an awe I have for these public servants. In the most remote areas, heading into the most unknown situations, with back up a long way away. Their skills in many situations have to be sharp.
Please thank his family for his service, he will be remembered in prayers.

They say only the good die young. Rest in peace... Condolences all around !

Don't think of me as gone away, my journey's just begun. Life holds so many facets this earth is only one. Just think of me as resting from the sorrows and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days or years. Think how i must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of me as living in the hearts of those i touched...for nothing loved is ever lost and i was loved so much.

We noticed the flags were at half staff in Billings. We were sorry to hear of his death. What I am wondering is why these drunk drivers keep getting let loose back out on our roads. I drive around town a lot and if they're not drunk or stoned, they're beyond the safe age for driving, which is almost as bad. I know how hard it is to get around town without a car, but you'd think that would give them even more incentive to shape up. I must be dreamin'

I asked my attorney friend why and he said there's not enough jail space if they gave the DUI's the proper sentence.
Bottom line, no open jail cells.
