A 19-year-old Cleburne County man who worked as a detention officer for the Cleburne County Sheriff’s Office died Tuesday after a single-vehicle accident on State Highway 16 in Higden.
According to the Arkansas State Police Fatality Report, Brock McCarthy of Edgemont, was killed after his westbound 2001 Dodge left the right side of the highway and overturned.
State police said the weather was clear, and the road was dry at the time of the accident, which was listed as 12:46 p.m.
In a post on its social media account, the sheriff’s office said McCarthy was hired nearly one year ago, and he “quickly set himself apart for someone of his age. He was well-liked, outgoing, friendly, motivated, and passionate about his future career in law enforcement.”
