Deputy David Colt Howell won the award for his 'heroism and dedicated service,'.
Howell was selected to receive this award due to the actions he undertook while responding to a noise disturbance with Sneads Police Department Sergeant Brett Preston on July 23, 2022. While at the scene, Preston was shot at multiple times by an irate neighbor. Under great stress, Howell rendered aid to a critically-injured Preston, then provided medical care to the suspect who, moments before, fired shots at the two.
“Deputy Howell exemplifies the level of bravery, commitment, and professionalism that citizens deserve from a law enforcement officer,” said Jackson County Sheriff Donald L. Edenfield. “His ability to remain calm under pressure and serve his community with diligence has truly saved lives.”“The combination of professionalism and bravery that Deputy Howell has displayed in his line of work is admirable,” said FSA President and Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper.
