Deputies & Dispatcher Honored For Help With Suicidal Woman on Stevenot Bridge |

Posted by: thepinetree on 10/22/2019 10:34 AM

Sonora, CA...From the Tuolumne Sheriff's Office...."It is an honor and privilege to serve Tuolumne County. We want to give a shout out to four members of the Sheriff’s Office who were honored at the Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday. In late September, Deputy Alex Zanini and Deputy Bryan Lee responded to a report of a suicidal woman who was standing on the edge of the Stevenot Bridge in Sonora. The deputies found the woman standing on the ledge, hysterical and uncooperative. Deputy Zanini talked with her for more than 10 minutes and was able to convince her to grab his hand and climb over the railing to safety. Both deputies helped calm the woman down, escorted her to a patrol vehicle, and made sure she got to the hospital. Sergeant Serrano of the Tuolumne County Crisis Negotiations Team summed up their actions best, “These two deputies showed extreme poise in the face of one of the most dynamic and dangerous situations a deputy can be face with along with a sense of deep compassion, during and after this incident.” Both deputies were presented with the Life Saving Award.

|
Posted by: thepinetree on 10/16/2019 10:30 AM

Sonora, CA...From the Tuolumne Sheriff's Office..."Thanks to a community member for alerting us of a phone scam. The resident told us she got a call from someone claiming to be a deputy with the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office. The caller told the woman she had a warrant for her arrest and needed to pay a bond. The caller then provided the name of a retired deputy when he was asked to identify himself. We determined the caller was not who he claimed to be, and the phone call was a scam.
