Authorities say Heacook, 54, was attacked on April 25 by Randon Wilkerson, 30, of Salisbury, after responding to a report of a fight in Delmar. Wilkerson, who is now charged with murder in connection with Heacook's death, is also accused of attacking an elderly couple.
Heacook, a 22-year veteran of the Delmar Police Department, was not only a well-known police officer but an accomplished carpenter and counter top fabricator. He was also known as the biggest supporter and best friend to his 12 year old son, Matthew and would frequent his baseball games to cheer him on.
