WALDEN – New York State Police, Orange County Sheriff’s deputies, firefighters, Boy Scouts and members of the community, saluted as a funeral procession traveled from Pennsylvania into western Orange County and to Walden on Saturday for a private funeral and burial for Newburgh native Dominic Winum.
The Stanley, Virginia police officer was killed in the line of duty while conducting a traffic stop on February 26.
On Friday, a motorcade led by motorcycle officers, escorted Winum’s body to Walden for a private service and burial for his many family members who still live in the area.
