The sounds of trumpets and bagpipes filled the air outside the Lebanon County courthouse Tuesday morning.
One of those they were playing for was former state Sen. David Arnold, who passed away in January after a battle with brain cancer. Before elected to that office in 2019, Arnold served as the Lebanon County district attorney.
We know his dedication, we know his passion, (and) we know he was one of us, current District Attorney Pier Hess Graf said. Our office, (and) myself, we miss him every day.
That s why Arnold was among those honored by county, state and local officials and various police officers Tuesday as part of National Police Week.

The upcoming primary elections on May 18 will feature several statewide races and ballot measures, but those are only some of the important questions for voters in Lebanon County.
Elections are being held on May 18 from 7 a.m.-8 p.m. The deadline to register to vote in the election has passed, and the deadline for no-excuse mail-in or absentee ballots is rapidly approaching on May 11. If you have a mail-in ballot that hasn’t been submitted yet, to ensure your ballot’s arrival by the deadline, they will need to be dropped off in person rather than mailed.
With two local child abuse cases getting national attention, Lebanon County District Attorney Pier Hess Graf says residents have wanted to be proactive with the problem. Every child deserves to be safe, she said Thursday. Every little boy and girl deserves to be safe when he or she goes to bed at night and wakes up in the morning.
In February, prosecutors filed 20 felony charges against Stephanie Angelette Duncan, 42, and her husband, Robert John Duncan, 44, of the 2700 block of Cedar Run Road.
The Duncans calculated and prolonged abuse included physical punishment, depriving the children of food, water, heat and bathroom privileges, and trying to cover up their crimes, according to prosecutors.
