Gov. Whitmer Lowers Flags to Honor Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LANSING, Mich. – Governor Gretchen Whitmer has ordered U.S. and Michigan flags within the State Capitol Complex and upon all public buildings and grounds across the state of Michigan to be lowered to half-staff on Wednesday, December 30, 2020, to honor the life and service of Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon, and coincide with his funeral.
“Benny Napoleon was a special guy,”
Governor Whitmer said. “His warm smile, eager hand and honest heart was rooted in his faith in God, faith in his fellow man or woman, and faith in doing the right thing. He was a true community leader who always saw the good in situations, and he encouraged others to do the same. As we lower the flags today in Benny’s honor, my thoughts are with his family and the entire Wayne County Sheriff’s office.”
