I would like to thank Trent Lampkin with Lampkin Masonry for installing Det. Sgt. Mason Griffith’s plaque onto the building yesterday. It will be a reminder to those visiting the department and officers the ultimate sacrifice our brother Mason gave on March 12th, 2023.

You are missed Mason and will be forever remembered.

Today was filled with emotions as the Honorable Judge Craig Hellmann formally sentenced Kenneth Lee Simpson to death for the shooting that took the life of Detective Sgt. Mason Griffith on March 12th, 2023 and injuring Officer Adam Sullentrup who sustained a traumatic head injury that has forever changed his life.

The night of March 12th, 2023 forever changed the lives of two families, a department and a community. Something no one could have imagined would take place in our small community. One senseless act damaged many lives. The Hermann Police Department will forever remember the life of Detective Sgt. Mason Griffith and the ultimate sacrifice he gave serving the community of Hermann. We thank Officer Adam Sullentrup whose life was forever changed. Adam is a true inspiration to us all and has inspired so many these past three years.

I would like to thank the Missouri Attorney General’s Office for all their hard work and professionalism on this case. The Honorable Judge Craig Hellmann and his staff. Franklin County Sheriff Steve Pelton and members of the Franklin County Sheriff Office. Gasconade County Sheriff Scott Eiler and his department for their support. Several fellow officers who have been there since that tragic night. And a special thank you to the community of Hermann and the tremendous support for our department.

As difficult as today was in so many ways, it was also a time to pass on something special to the son of Detective Sgt. Mason Griffith. With the assistance of Sheriff Scott Eiler, Officer Adam Sullentrup and several fellow officers who were close to Mason, I was able to present Mason’s son Karson with his father’s handcuffs. Karson is a spiting image of his father and wants to serve as his father did. One day Karson will be able to use his father’s handcuffs in remembrance of his amazing father and all his stood for.

Time heals all wounds. We continue to honor both Mason and Adam each day and the sacrifice they gave to the community of Hermann. We love you guys and thank you for your service.
