SAN ANGELO, TX – A Tom Green County Sheriff’s Deputy received a commendation from a grateful citizen following a recent incident where he assisted a motorist with a flat tire.
This happened on Friday, July 19th, when Deputy Allen responded to a call for assistance in the county.
Upon arrival, he encountered a man who had stopped to help a woman and her family member with a blown tire. Despite the scorching West Texas heat, the deputy and the man spent 20 minutes replacing the tire without complaint. Once the tire was changed, the woman and her family members continued on their way.
The assisting man, impressed with Deputy Allen’s dedication and service, later contacted dispatch to express his appreciation. He noted Deputy Allen’s exemplary assistance, highlighting the deputy’s efforts beyond the call of duty. The citizen chose to remain anonymous and did not seek further contact, only wanting to ensure the deputy’s actions were recognized.
"Dispatch let the Patrol Lieutenant know of this and even though we do these things every single day, it is rare it is brought to our attention in the manner of a positive phone call," information from the Sheriff's Office stated. "So thank you to our good citizens and our Deputies for being who you are. We know this type of positive interaction happens all the time, but hey, this one got an extra highlight because of the complimentary phone call and we appreciate the heck out of it."
