Hundreds of mourners, including law enforcement officers from across the nation, gathered at an outdoor music theater in Connecticut for the funeral of a state police trooper who was swept away in floodwaters from the remnants of Hurricane Ida.
Sgt. Brian Mohl was a 26-year veteran of the department. His vehicle became trapped in rising floodwaters last week near the Pomperaug River in Woodbury. The 50-year-old was remembered as a hardworking, blunt, straight-shooting trooper who loved the midnight shift.
He also was eulogized as a kind and generous family man and friend who had a nickname for everyone, loved shopping in bulk and teased those he loved.
