GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - Wesley Phillips never got to know his grandfather Earl Phillips. Thatâs because, during a traffic stop in 1972, the Harrison County sheriffâs deputy was killed in the line of duty.
âI didnât get a chance to know him because I was only a year old,â Phillips said. âHe went up to the car and the guy had a shotgun and shot him in the abdomen and left him there, in the road. Yeah, itâs been hard.â
