PHOENIX — While the community keeps mourning Paul Rutherford, the police officer, we are beginning to research greater about Paul Rutherford, the person. One in every one of his passions became martial arts. Rutherford died Thursday after he was struck with the aid of a vehicle, even as investigating some other crash.
