SHERIFF HONORS BRIAN ARCE FOR HELPING INJURED DEPUTY

Brian Arce Honored Sheriff Bill Cameron presented a special award to Brian Arce who came to the assistance of DFC Ryan White who was injured while attempting to recapture an escaped prisoner. Arce was in his vehicle alongside DFC White’s patrol car at U.S. 41 and S.R. 776 and saw the man break out the patrol car window and run from DFC White. Arce knew the deputy was injured and unable to run.

The escapee went to Arce’s car and asked for a ride, which he declined. Instead, Arce gave chase to the escapee, tackled him to the ground, held him until backup deputies arrived and took the escapee into custody. Sheriff Cameron said, “Brian Arce demonstrated outstanding citizenship and bravery in assisting DFC White.”
