Members of the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office team visited Mason to present him with a "Certificate of Bravery" for his quick thinking to help his grandma. Pictured from left to right are Deputy Hull, Deputy Otte, Detective Cassidy, Deputy Lindig, and Mason.
Last Friday, our team had the privilege of meeting a local hero: 6-year-old Mason!
Mason displayed incredible courage and quick thinking on the morning of December 19 when he noticed something was wrong at home. Upon waking to his grandma's alarm, Mason found her unresponsive on the floor. Concerned for her welfare and with few options, Mason dressed, went to school, and immediately told a trusted adult about the situation.
Thanks to his actions, first responders arrived at his grandmother's house to assist her with the medical help she needed.
To celebrate Mason's bravery and ability to remain calm under pressure, our deputies visited him at his grandmother's house to show our appreciation. We showered Mason with an official hero's bravery certificate and some sheriff's office goodies and praised him for doing the right thing: seeking help from a responsible adult.
Mason is a shining example of what it means to stay cool in a tough situation, and we're proud to have him in our community. Way to go, Mason-you're a true hero!
