Alvin Al Adams, 56, died on November 26, 2016, at Wood County Hospital in Bowling Green, Ohio, after an off-duty, accidental shotgun discharge outside his Grand Rapids home. A longtime jail sergeant with the Wood County Sheriff’s Office, he had served 15 years and was active in the Gunslingers Motorcycle Club Black Swamp Chapter and the Fraternal Order of Police. Family remembered him for riding his Harley and spending time with his grandchildren.

The death was investigated by the Wood County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and was officially ruled an accidental shooting; no arrests or suspects were identified and no criminal charges were reported. Questions remain about the circumstances that led to the accidental discharge. Does anyone have information about that day or memories of Alvin’s service and community involvement?
