Vicksburg police officer who spent days in freezer, weeks in dumpster to prevent crime passes away
SUMMARY: Doug Arp, a longtime Mississippi police officer and advocate for crime prevention, has passed away. Arp gained attention for his unconventional methods of promoting a crime-free society, such as living in a police cruiser suspended 60 feet in the air and spending four days in a commercial icebox. He also dedicated his time to honoring fallen officers by placing markers on their graves and advocating for their inclusion in the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. Arp's funeral arrangements have not been announced at this time.
