“A shout out tonight for Benton County Deputy Burns. He saved the life of one of our residents early this morning who’s car was swept of the low water crossing at Hastain, which is Deer Creek. Just after midnight a local resident called in a female screaming for help.
Deputy Burns arrived in short order, shed his duty gear and went into the raging water without regard for his own safety and brought the victim back to the bank where she was treated by EMS and given a ride home.
Deputy Burns is one of our new hires who is serving our great community. We are proud of you Deputy Burns and thank you for your selfless efforts! You give real meaning to the statement “to protect and serve”
