Three Wood County Sheriff deputies were honored for their life-saving actions at last Friday’s Wood County commissioners meeting.
Wood County and the Sheriff’s Department recognized Sgt. Jeremy Ragsdale, Sgt. Darren Lubbe and Deputy Trent Welborn for “their outstanding efforts and for saving lives while on duty for the department,” according to a proclamation read by County Judge Lucy Hebron.
The Sheriff’s Office presented the life-saving award to two of the officers for their actions in the line of duty.
Lubbe was away at training.
Ragsdale helped a person who was bleeding severely at County Road 3281 in Quitman on Nov. 2.
He used tourniquets on the bleeding wounds to restrict the victim’s blood flow.
On July 18, Lubbe and Welborn responded to a three-vehicle accident on Highway 154 near County Road 3120.
They assisted a male subject, who was in fiery vehicle and severely injured, out of his vehicle.
After getting the individual safely away from the vehicle, Lubbe and Welborn continued with life-saving measures for others involved in the wreck.
