Funeral announced for deputy U.S. Marshal killed during Alexandria arrest
ALEXANDRIA — The funeral for a deputy U.S. Marshal killed during an arrest attempt in Alexandria was announced on Friday.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Drew Hanson was shot and killed as law enforcement attempted to arrest 48-year-old Clarence A. Frazier Jr. after he missed a court date for a sexual battery charge.
Officials say Frazier barricaded himself in his bedroom and fired at them, hitting Hanson, who later died from his injuries. Frazier then stayed in a standoff with law enforcement in his bedroom until he was taken into custody.
The memorial service for Hanson will take place at The Pentecostals of Alexandria Church on Saturday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
