Popular officer dies in crash Silver Spring Township police officers are mourning the death of a colleague killed in a weekend traffic accident. The chief says he doesn't know how long Coleman had owned his 1983 Honda. He'd rather do that than anything else. A 1982 graduate of Milton High School, Coleman was a police officer in Danville for two years before coming to work for Silver Spring in February 1989. Funeral services will be in Milton Tuesday, with graveside service and burial on Wednesday at 1 p.m. at Rolling Green Memorial Garden in Lower Allen Township.
