Worked with Jeter in the Late 70s and 80s. I think he could do anything. He hand made a mini Thompson machine gun out of scraps from a junk yard. 22 caliber and it worked. RIP JET.
I’m sorry to hear about Jeter, he was a good man husband and father. His dedication to Law Enforcement proves he was a faith servant to GOD. My prayers will be with his family. May GOD bless them during their time of grief.
I found this today looking for my friend, so sorry to hear this news, Riley was a great man , I loved going by and seeing his inventions , Monique was my favorite person in the world, my thoughts and prayers are with his family, he was a tribute to what an excellent patrolman should be .
I saw this Also looking for Jeter. I met him through his wife Monique which I met in 1983. I’m saddened to read this. Jeter and Mo are resting now. Miss you both. See ya at Sunrise.
