WHEREAS, Two dedicated officers, Lieutenant Tami McCullough |
|
|
and Deputy Charles Sibley, have brought great credit to the Collin |
|
|
County Sheriff's Office through their lifesaving actions; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On July 10, 2016, Housing Lieutenant Tami |
|
|
McCullough, a 15-year veteran of the sheriff's office, responded to |
|
|
a medical emergency at a detention facility, where an inmate had |
|
|
choked while eating and had lost consciousness; after determining |
|
|
that the man was in cardiac arrest, Lieutenant McCullough performed |
|
|
chest compressions and cleared his airway, and she continued CPR |
|
|
until medical personnel arrived and transported the inmate to a |
|
|
local hospital; he is alive today thanks to Lieutenant McCullough's |
|
|
swift and skillful intervention; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Environmental Crimes Investigator Charles "Chuck" |
|
|
Sibley has served with the sheriff's office since May 2013; on |
|
|
December 26, 2015, he learned of an approaching tornado while he was |
|
|
off duty at his home; putting himself at risk, he drove to several |
|
|
stores in nearby Copeville to warn others, and then tracked the |
|
|
storm, reporting on its progress to emergency personnel; when he |
|
|
reached Farmersville, he blocked southbound traffic on Highway 78 |
|
|
until the storm had passed; he later returned to assist with search |
|
|
and rescue operations in Copeville, where the Hilltop Grocery store |
|
|
had taken a direct hit; because of Deputy Sibley's timely warning, |
|
|
three people survived the storm uninjured; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Faced with dire situations, Lieutenant McCullough |
|
|
and Deputy Sibley drew on their training to protect individuals in |
|
|
danger, and their heroic efforts have distinguished them as truly |
|
|
outstanding members of the law enforcement profession; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Lieutenant Tami McCullough and Deputy |
|
|
Charles "Chuck" Sibley for their contributions to public safety in |
|
|
Collin County and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued |
|
|
success with their important work; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Lieutenant McCullough and Deputy Sibley as an |
|
|
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
