Officers Save Man During a Traffic Stop

 

 

On April 5, 2015 FTO Neese received a call from a friend about an erratic driver. He was able to catch up with the driver, who turned out to be Mr. Orange. After some difficulty getting Mr. Orange to realize he was being signaled to stop, FTO Neese and Cpl. Santos determined that he was not intoxicated, but rather was medically impaired. It took some convincing, but Mr. Orange agreed to go with EMS to the hospital. It was later relayed to Mr. Orange by his doctors that the actions of the officers involved, to include stressing the need for him to receive medical attention quickly, likely saved his life. Mr. Orange recently came by the police department to thank FTO Neese and Cpl. Santos for their quick actions.

Mount Pleasant Officer Honored After Saving a Life



On the evening of April 22nd at about 6 p.m. Officer Darren Raley was just getting home after his 10 hour shift. As he exited his car he heard someone screaming for help several houses down. Officer Raley without hesitation ran to where the calls for help were coming from and found that his neighbor’s father had collapsed in the trunk of his car, was not breathing or responsive. Officer Raley instructed other bystanders to help him remove the victim from the trunk of the car and he immediately began administering lifesaving attention to his neighbor’s father. We received a call from the victim's daughter on April 28th praising Officer Raley’s heroic efforts when no one else would stop and help. She said without Officers Raley’s immediate response her father would have died in the trunk of the car.

Please join us in recognizing Officer Raley for his quick action and life saving efforts!
