Deputy Honored for Life Saving Efforts

Deputy Morgan responded to the scene immediately while on his way home and assisted in retrieving the boy from the water and then administered CPR, saving the boy's life. Deputy Morgan remained at the scene until the young boy was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. Deputy Morgan not only filed the report, but visited the boy in the hospital. Mr. Mobley, the boy's father, said that Deputy Morgan" gave me back the most important thing in my life, my son." Mr. Mobley and his wife were also present at the ceremony in which Deputy Morgan was recognized for his life saving efforts.
