It is with deep sadness that the Bethlehem Police Department announces the passing of retired Sgt. Steven Marshall, who served the citizens of Bethlehem for 22 years. Sgt. Marshall joined the department in July 1988, and retired in July 2010 after a long and distinguished career.
Sgt. Marshall tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident in North Myrtle Beach, SC on Friday, April 4 around 1:30 pm after being struck by a drunk driver. His dedication, professionalism, and commitment during his more than two decades of service left an indelible mark on our department and all who had the privilege of working alongside him.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to Sgt. Marshall’s family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. His legacy and contributions to the department will not be forgotten. The Bethlehem Police Department is grateful for the hard work of the South Carolina Highway Patrol for their investigation of the accident that claimed Sgt. Marshall’s life.
