Law enforcement authorities hope a reward will help lead them to the hit-and-run driver accused in the death of Arlington motorcycle police officer Darrin McMichael.
Those who knew the man behind the badge say they are better for it.
Brim, now retired, headed up security at Six Flags Over Texas in the early 2000s when McMichael came on part-time.“Darrin was kind of the guy who helped us learn about de-escalation and being able to treat people as people,” said Brim. “He was a tall guy, I mean 6’2”. He was so tall and was very imposing when you were around him, could’ve been intimidating but he had the ability to let everyone be at ease.
“You never know when that day will come and he treated life that way,” said Brim. “But how sad it was under those circumstances, especially with Linette [McMichael’s wife] right there behind to see that. Just gut-wrenching.” The driver of a car, believed to be a dark-colored Dodge or Chrysler sedan, is accused of running over the officer and driving off.
