Deputy Sheriff Leonard Wilbur Brand, 50, of the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department was killed on Sunday, May 25, 1986, while responding to a domestic disturbance on Alabama Highway 49 a couple of miles north of New Site. The call came in at about 5:15 p.m.; Brand and the New Site Chief of Police arrived together and, after stepping out of their patrol car, were met by gunfire. Brand sustained mortal wounds and died; the chief was also shot but survived. The shooter later died by suicide. Brand, a U.S. Army veteran, was survived by his wife and child.
