At the Kanawha County Commission meeting on September 19, 2013, the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office will honor two employees for recently helping save lives. Sergeant Justin H. Thaxton prevented a woman from attempting suicide, and Tax Division Deputy Christine Shamblin assisted an interstate traveler who had received a life threatening bee sting until an ambulance arrived to transport to a hospital.
Sheriff John Rutherford will make a presentation at the meeting regarding their efforts. Following the presentation interviews can be arranged in the hallway or outside the courthouse (weather permitting). The meeting is scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m. Please call me with any questions, and I hope to see you all at the meeting.
