He later worked in law enforcement as a Police Officer for the Metropolitan Police Department, District of Columbia, Prince George’s County Police Department, and as a Correctional Officer for St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office. He was known for his unwavering dedication and firm but fair approach to his duties.
He was married to his loving wife Brenda Padgett for 58 years.
