THREE CREDITED WITH SAVING MANS LIFE AFTER TRUCK GOES INTO LAKE

On July 5, 2017, at 7:30 pm, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched the Walden Yacht Club in reference to an Attempted Suicide. Upon arrival, Deputies learned that three citizens, Travis Hodges, John Jenkins and John Wesolick were all in the Marina when they witnessed a citizen drive his truck into the water. Travis, John and John with little regard for their safety and only concerned with helping a fellow citizen jumped into the water and swam out to the truck in an attempt to aid the citizen. Once to the truck, the three learned that the driver of the truck was depressed and was wanting to kill himself. The three heroic citizens didn’t give up and worked tirelessly as the vehicle was almost completely submerged. Due to their heroic and unselfish efforts they were able to pull the citizen from the truck and to the shore. The citizen who was depressed sustained no injuries and was transported to the hospital for a medical evaluation. If you know of anyone depressed or needing assistance, have them contact the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
