Former Statesboro Police chief Richard Malone left a legacy behind when he retired from the force in 2001, and will be missed by friends, family and those who he helped become the law enforcement officers they are today. Malone died Thursday morning at his home in Milledgeville of an apparent heart attack. He had recently ended a three-year term as deputy chief of the Milledgeville Police Department, having come out of retirement in 2007 to take on that role.
