Law enforcement from around the region sheriff s departments from Wakulla, Leon, Gadsden and Seminole counties along with police from Tifton, Thomasville, Tallahassee and Havana drove north along Highway 27 before arriving at Ivey Funeral Home in Bainbridge. The motorcade was 5.5 miles long, according to TPD spokeswoman Alicia Turner.
As deputies, officers, firefighters and Georgia Department of Transportation followed the route leading into Georgia, motorists paid their respects as the processional passed; some held American flags while others placed their hand over their heart as they stood along the side of the road.
