A Marion County sheriff’s deputy is being credited with saving the life of a 29-year-old Summerfield man on Sunday evening.
Deputy Tevyn Gadson was dispatched to a citizen’s assist call about an unresponsive man at 13909 SE 51st Court in Summerfield. Gadson immediately performed CPR on the man and was able to re-establish a pulse. The man then began breathing, regained consciousness and was transported to the hospital by Marion County Fire Rescue, where he was listed in stable condition.
Sheriff Chris Blair said Deputy Gadson’s quick thinking and actions “surely saved a life” Sunday evening.
“We are so lucky to have Deputy Gadson serving our citizens here in Marion County,” said Sheriff Blair. “And we have hundreds more like Deputy Gadson patrolling our community. I’d like to extend my congratulations and a thank you to Deputy Gadson for his actions last night. We are all proud to work alongside you each and every day.”
