On Sunday, Dec. 4, at approximately 6:03 p.m., the Warren County 911 Center was contacted regarding a traffic accident involving one of the Warren County Sheriff’s Office patrol vehicles. Emergency units arrived to find the vehicle on fire.
Police say Officer Richard DuChaine began infant chest compressions followed by back thrusts and the baby started breathing again.
"He had a clogged artery, just passed out, heart stopped," says Officer Carson Yates. "My first thought was just to try to get some sort of breath into him, just try to stabilize him until EMS comes.”
Sgt. Daniel Kammerzell, 51, an 18-year veteran of the department, was discovered unresponsive in his patrol vehicle Saturday afternoon.
"My legs are buckling, they're shaking, but like I said, we had to do what we had to do," Officer Dave Mahibir says in describing the event.
“A trooper is often the first emergency responder to arrive when someone contacts 911 for a medical emergency. We know moments matter. The faster we can assist, the better the chance of survival,” says Lt. Col. Dale Hinz, commander of the Field Operations Bureau.
Deputy Marty Joe Lewis served with the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office for 20 years and was working as a school resource officer at Scotts Elementary School in Statesville at the time of his death.
The sheriff’s office reports Arnold, with the assistance of school administration, had taken a juvenile involved in the fight into custody and was exiting the main entrance of the school when he collapsed.
Sgt. Nicholas M. Hunter had served with the Parma PD since 1993. He was promoted to sergeant in 2003.
The sheriff’s office said Cpl. Chad Beattie was working on the fugitive team assisting South Strabane Township police as they responded to an alert about a person with outstanding warrants.
