Senate Joint Resolution 62, sponsored by Johnson, commemorates the 100th anniversary of the murder of Constable Sam Locke in Williamson County. In the spring of 1925, Locke was found dead with gunshot wounds, having dedicated his life to law enforcement and community service. He was a respected figure in the community, known for his efforts to combat illegal alcohol operations during Prohibition, which ultimately led to his assassination by local alcohol purveyors who felt threatened by his investigations. Despite his tragic death, Locke's work contributed to significant changes in the county, including the arrest of corrupt officials and a community uprising against crime.

The resolution honors Constable Locke's legacy, highlighting his integrity and commitment to justice in the face of danger. It acknowledges his importance in Williamson County's history and serves as a reminder of the impact one individual can have on the fight against lawlessness. The resolution calls for an appropriate copy to be prepared for presentation, ensuring that Locke's memory and contributions are recognized and remembered.
