Beach Police Sergeant Dies After Disturbance Scuffle
Lee T. McDonald of the Ole Orchard Beach Police Department died of a heart attack early this morning after he and Patrolman Gordon McAllister and Special Officer James Horne investigated a disturbance at the Saxony hotel in Old Orchard Beach. Patrolman McAllister charged Richards Dow with being drunk and disorderly. Dow, 36, of Biddeford, will appear in Old Orchard Beach court Monday night. The cruiser McDonald was driving crashed after the fatal attack, pinning him. Horne and McAllister escaped serious injury. Dr. Maggaudda ruled death due to heart attack, not the crash. McDonald, 55, served 20 years and moved from Haverhill, Mass. to Old Orchard Beach 20 years ago, was a church member and belonged to several unions. Funeral arrangements were set by Dennett and Craig funeral home. Police did not identify the other three men involved.
