A
Mount Pleasant police officer is credited with saving the life of a choking
toddler Sunday
evening during the Town’s annual Christmas Parade.
Pfc.
Jonathan Rustin was patrolling the parade route on his bicycle when he was
alerted to
the little girl choking on a piece of candy. Pfc. Rustin
immediately rendered aid to the 2 year
old and was able to get the piece of
hard candy dislodged from her airway.
“The
mom told me her daughter was choking so I took her and was able to get the
candy out
of her airway,” Pfc. Rustin said. “Once the candy came out the
little girl started to cry which
meant she could breathe.”
