Trumann – The police chief of Trumann was killed while helping his community during the winter storm Tuesday.
Chief Larry Blagg was killed when a tree branch laden with ice broke and fell on him as he was helping move fallen branches.
Trumann Mayor Sheila Walters says Blagg went into cardiac arrest. The 40-year-old police chief died on the way to the hospital.
The winter storm is moved east Wednesday morning, but left about 500,000 homes and businesses in Arkansas without power and the roads in the northern part of the state iced over.
At least three other deaths in Arkansas were blamed on the weather.
