Sgt. Ward
Background
Ward is a police sergeant in Bishop, California.
During the events of The Bat People (1974) played by Michael Pataki
Sgt. Ward is standing outside the store when he sees Dr. John Beck having the seizure and introduces himself to Dr. Beck. Ward questions Dr. Beck if he heard anything when the Nurse was killed and shows him his patient wristband he found near the dead Nurse. Ward goes to Dr. Beck and Cathy Beck's motel room and he questions Dr. Beck about the murder of Girl in Pickup and shows him a bandage that was found near her body. Dr. Beck escapes from the hospital and steals an ambulance. Sgt. Ward chases after Dr. Beck in his patrol car, but Dr. Beck bumps him off the road.
Ward questions Cathy abut Dr. Beck's whereabouts the previous nights. Later, he sees Cathy out walking at night and invites her into his car. He drops her off at the motel and asks her if Dr. Beck ever hit her. Ward then tries to rape Cathy until she yells at him to leave. At the hospital, Ms. Jax runs and finds Ward and tells him where Dr. Beck is, but Dr. Beck is already gone. Dr. Beck makes a recording of his last will and testament and describes the transformations he is going through. After Ward plays Cathy the recording, she goes back to the motel. Ward goes to the cave and tracks down Dr. Beck. He starts assaulting Dr. Beck and Dr. Beck transforms and attacks Ward and then runs away. Ward returns to the ranger station and is bandaged by the Park Ranger. As Ward and Cathy are driving back to town, a large group of bats start to follow them. The bats fly into the windshield and Ward accidentally drives off the road and gets stuck. Cathy gets out of the car and lets the bats in and they attack Ward and he shoots himself with his shotgun.
