You're close. It was Strother Martin, but he was the brutal prison warden, not the sheriff. Also, Paul Neuman, playing the part of Cool Hand Luke, spoke the line near the end of the movie, right before he was shot.

It seems like some more communication could have helped advert this tragedy. If the Metro Transportation Officer had called in and said that he had a rifle and was on the scene the other officers could have been notified and he might still be alive.
