LENDING A HELPING HAND!

Deputy Young was called to assist a stranded "motorist" and was more than happy to lend a hand and help get her back on her way.

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a big difference. Whether it’s responding to an emergency or simply helping someone having a rough day on the road, our deputies are always ready to serve.

Great job, Deputy Young!
