L/Cpl. Mark Hunter Coates
1963 - 11/20/1992
Lance Corporal Coates, 31, was on patrol with the
Highway Patrol's ACE (Aggressive Criminal
Enforcement) Team working I-95 in Japser
County. The
team
was conducting a saturation effort to reduce the amount of drugs trafficked on
I-95. L/Cpl. Coates had stopped a car for weaving in traffic on I-95 near the
Georgia border. While talking to the violator, a seemingly easy going
individual, the routine traffic stop turned into a situation which is etched
into the minds of many law enforcement officers around the world. The violator
suddenly attacked L/Cpl. Coates, knocking him to the ground. The violator jumped
on top of L/Cpl. Coates and produced a handgun, firing several shots, point
blank, into his bulletproof vest. While on the ground, L/Cpl. Coates managed to
return fire striking the subject several times with his .357 caliber revolver.
As he retreated for cover, the subject fired another shot. The round struck
L/Cpl. Coates in his left arm pit, between the panels of his vest. L/Cpl. Coates
was airlifted to Savannah Memorial where he was pronounced dead. The violator
survived the incident and was sentenced to life in prison.
