James was a member of the Illinois State Police. He had 5 years of service.
He was killed when a semi-trailer truck struck his cruiser on Interstate 294 shortly after 11:00 p.m. Trooper Sauter was stopped on the shoulder when the semi rear-ended his cruiser, causing both vehicles to burst into flames. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
James had been awarded a lifesaving medal as a cadet in 2008 for providing aid to the victim of a motorcycle accident.
He was a licensed pilot and had just completed a temporary assignment in the state police air operations. He was recently assigned to District 15, which covers the tollways.
Department officials stated that James left a legacy of courage, honor and duty, which will never be forgotten. The Illinois State Police are grieving.
Other Law Enforcement officials stated that James was a very talented and well-
respected officer.
James is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his wife, Elizabeth.
Thank you for serving, James.
Pray for all who die in the line of duty.
Let us pray that James is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
