(L to R) Turnkey/Dispatcher Sergio Fonseca and Deputy Andrew Wozniak

Deputy Andrew Wozniak and Turnkey/Dispatcher Sergio Fonseca were awarded with the Life Saving Award during the Sheriff’s Employee Christmas and Awards Luncheon on December 21, 2023.

On July 23, 2023 at around 5 a.m. ET, a gentleman walked into the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department lobby and began conversing with the on-duty Main Control Officer. During the conversation, the gentleman began having a major medical emergency. Dispatch quickly realized that the man needed help and dispatched officers, jail staff and the Plymouth Fire Department to respond.

Officer Fonseca and Officer Wozniak arrived first and immediately started life saving aid by providing Narcan to the gentleman. Shortly after, Plymouth medics arrived at the scene and transported the patient to the hospital. Both officers received a Life Saving Commendation and their names were added to the Life Saving plaque located in the lobby of the Sheriff’s Department.
