One afternoon, Deputies Nicole Miron and Anthony Gross of the Macomb County, Michigan, Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to investigate a vehicle driving erratically. After activating lights and sirens failed to get any response from the driver, the officers pulled up alongside the uncontrolled truck. The individual, a 63-year-old male, appeared to be in a daze and unable to comprehend their requests to stop.

Eventually, the driver rolled down his window and briefly hit his brakes. As Deputy Gross kept even pace, Deputy Miron—who had been in the passenger side of the department’s SUV—exited through the window and climbed into the truck while both vehicles continued to travel down the road. Once inside the truck, Deputy Miron was able to stop the vehicle.

After speaking to the driver, Deputy Miron contacted his family and confirmed his medical condition. The individual was transported to a local hospital for medical care. Deputies Gross and Miron put themselves in harm’s way to help a citizen in need and protect other drivers.
