2011 Attacks
Deputy Anthony Perkins, along his partner, Deputy Hoss, and other cops, told Deputy Judy Hicks and Sheriff Dewey Riley about High School Student Jenny Randall's phone ringing and found it inside Sidney Prescott's car covered in blood.

When other high school students, Olivia Morris, Jill Roberts and Kirby Reed, received phone calls from Ghostface, Hoss and Perkins were assigned to guard The Roberts' house where Sidney is staying with her cousin, Jill, and her aunt, Kate Roberts. While Hoss and Perkins were checking the house due to an unfamiliar silhouette, Ghostface killed Olivia.

Later Perkins is seen at the press conference with Hoss and Dewey. Unfortunately, this is where Sidney's publicist and personal assistant, Rebecca Walters, was thrown on top of a newsvan after she was stabbed to death. Later Perkins is in the cop car when Hoss, coming back from maining his rounds, sees Perkins over the steering wheel, appearing dead. Suddenly, Perkins is stabbed in the head.

Springs up and startles Hoss, revealing he was only faking it as he tells him, "you should've seen the look on your face, rookie." Suddenly, Hoss is stabbed in the back by Ghostface right in front of Perkins. As Hoss falls to the ground and dies, Ghostface stabs Perkins straight in the forehead. Perkins gets out of the cop car and tries to fight Ghostface even though he's clearly been rendered completely blind from the first stab wound. Perkins falls to his knees and mutters his last words, "Fuck Bruce Willis." Then he falls to the ground, dead.

After Kate's death, Deputy Hicks arrives and Sidney tells her that Kate's dead. Hicks, seeing the body, calls Dewey and reports the news on the late Kate Roberts while also mentioning that Hoss' and Perkins' were found dead in their police car two blocks away with multiple stab wounds.
