PITTSBURGH — FBI Agent Samuel Hicks with his wife, Brooke, and their 2-year old son, Noah.
Special Agent Samuel Hicks’ classmates at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Va., used to follow his lead when training how to safely enter homes and serve warrants, trusting the Westmoreland County native’s discipline, intelligence and experience as a Baltimore police narcotics officer.
“He was our ace in the hole in leading us,” said his former roommate, Special Agent Klaus Franze.
