Deputy Sheriff Josh Owen of the Pope County Sheriff's Office in Minnesota was tragically killed in the line of duty on April 15, 2023. He was fatally shot while attempting to arrest a suspect involved in a domestic violence incident in Cyrus, Minnesota. The suspect opened fire during the arrest, resulting in Deputy Owen's death and injuries to another deputy and a Starbuck police officer. The suspect was also killed in the exchange. Notably, this incident occurred on Deputy Owen's 44th birthday.
Deputy Owen served with the Pope County Sheriff's Office for nearly 12 years and was a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom with the Minnesota National Guard. He is survived by his wife, son, and parents; his father is a retired law enforcement officer.

Liberty Call Distillery in San Diego, California, creates this commemorative bottle. The company is marine-owned and a friend to all first responders. The bottle is superior to other engravings. It is sandblasted, not just etched, and pays true honor to every fallen first responder it is created for.
The whiskey is first aged in new 53-gallon, medium-charred American oak barrels for up to 8 years. Then, it is rested in-barrel with Chilean Amburana oak staves. It creates a uniquely sweet, yet spicy bourbon whiskey. It has hints of gingerbread and fresh vanilla on the nose. There is a pronounced sweetness on the palate. It shows touches of oak, spice cake, nutmeg, and light brown sugar.
The bottles can be shipped across the U.S., except Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Michigan, Mississippi, and Utah.
