Wilkerson started as a reserve patrolman with the Brookville Police Department in September 2003 and became chief of police in December 2014. He served as chief for three years. “He had a big heart, and his presence alone would brighten any room he entered. Wilkerson has a way of keeping a smile on the face of his coworkers even during the most difficult times,” the Facebook post said.
“The BPD will be forever grateful for the impact Wilkerson has had on our department. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.” The crash happened on Harrison Brookville Road in Brookville around 8:00 P.M., according to the Dearborn County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Shane McHenry says, based upon the preliminary investigation, it appears the black 2012 Harley Davidson swerved to miss a deer but hit it instead. The motorcycle was then laid down and hit a telephone pole and he was taken by Air Care to UC Medical Center where he died from his injuries.
