Get in an accident with a pig and you will be railed roaded with all the possible charges the cops can dream up! Original Article County files felony charges in death of Gilbert officer Elias C. Arnold The Arizona Republic May. 3, 2006 12:00 AM The Maricopa County Attorney's Office filed three felony charges Tuesday in Maricopa Superior Court against a man who authorities say ran a red light, striking and killing a Gilbert police officer. Robert Targosz, 37, died early Sunday morning in surgery at Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn after a car struck his patrol motorcycle Saturday evening at Price Road and Apache Boulevard in Tempe. He was the first Gilbert police officer killed in the line of duty in the department's 86-year history. Tyler Gary Fahlman, 20, of Tempe is charged with manslaughter, endangerment and leaving the scene of a fatal-injury accident. He was released from jail on a $270,000 bond. The funeral service for Targosz will be held at 11 a.m. Friday at Scottsdale Bible Church in Scottsdale. A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Monday at the Gilbert Police Administration Center. Targosz was a caring individual and always looking for ways to improve officer safety, said interim Gilbert Police Chief Tim Dorn. Targosz, a Tempe resident and 12-year veteran with Gilbert police, led a successful effort last year to change Gilbert's town code to require the public to obey officers' commands and recently drafted a grant proposal for a new DUI-task-force vehicle he designed, Dorn said. Targosz also was instrumental in equipping the department with Tasers and bullet-stopping shields, Gilbert police spokesman Sgt. Andrew Duncan said. "You have this vision of this hard cop that goes out and takes people to jail, but there's another side there, too," Dorn said of Targosz's concern for officer safety and his deep love for his wife. Mesa Police Lt. Bill Peters, who worked with Targosz on the East Valley DUI Task Force, said it is tough to accept Targosz's death in a suspected drunken-driving collision because he was dedicated to DUI enforcement. "He always had a smile and was an upbeat kind of guy who made working those long hours doable." Staff reporter Senta Scarborough contributed to this article.
