Sgt. Worthey was a retired Carrollton Police Sergeant as well as a military veteran, and thus received full honors from the Carrollton Police Department.  Other area police departments, as well as the Collin County Sheriff’s Department also were represented.  Flags  and riders were in place to greet the arrival of the coach carrying Sgt. Worthey’s remains as well as the arrival of the family shortly thereafter.
Prior to the memorial service, the North Texas Patriot Guard Riders Appreciation Certificate was presented to Mrs. Worthey.  After the service began, riders returned the flags to the flag vehicle and stood down until the time of departure for DFW National Cemetery.  A significant number of motorcycle police and police cars provided escort service and traffic control from the church to the cemetery.
The procession arrived at Lane C shortly at 13:05 for the scheduled 13:30 committal service.  The cemetery rep. cleared the procession to proceed immediately to the shelter.  Fortunately, riders had set the flags and were standing tall and silent when the procession arrived at the shelter. 
After the service, flags were returned to storage, and the riders were debriefed and dismissed.
