YULEE, Fla. — A local restaurant hosted a remembrance for a fallen Nassau County deputy on the third anniversary of his death Friday.
A table at the Chick-fil-A in Yulee set for Deputy Eric Oliver featured a blue and black tablecloth, a single place setting, a Bible and a vase with flowers, according to a Facebook post from Scott Watzlawick.
Oliver was hit and killed by a car on State Road 200 on Nov. 22, 2016, while chasing Francisco Portillo-Fuentes, a suspect fleeing from federal officers.
