Fred Piwowar was a patrolman with the Spearfish Lake Police Department. In 2007 he worked the shift starting at midnight. Fred "really wasn’t all that crazy about working third shift, but figured that working full time beat working part time, so it was something that he could put up with for a while if he had to. Most of the time things were pretty boring. Oh, once in a while there might be a little bit of trouble before the bars closed at two AM, but that wasn’t often and usually fell on Friday night. Sometimes he might pick up someone driving under the influence, but not very often. After the bars closed, though, they might as well have rolled up the streets, because usually not much happened at all – everyone was asleep, even the drunks."SK14
