Officer Mike Vernon Benefit Washer Tournament

In the early morning hours of May 28th, Florissant Police Officer Michael Vernon was searching for a burglary suspect when he was ambushed and shot three times in a cowardly attack. Immediately, the dreaded call went out.... โ€œOfficer Downโ€ It is a call that every law enforcement officer fears. Officer Vernon remains in critical condition with a spinal cord injury.

Officer Vernon is also a U.S. Army veteran serving two tours of duty in Iraq.
