Mercer County Sheriff's Deputy Deric Kroft reattaches a badge adorned with a black ribbon onto Deputy Jay Wehrkamp on Wednesday. Ribbons and sashes are being worn this week by numerous local law enforcement officers in honor of Clark County Deputy Suzanne Hopper, who was slain on New Year's Day. Many area officers attended Hopper's funeral today in Springfield.
