Deputy Sizemore:
On Monday, February 16, 2015 at 1202 hours, Deputy Michael Sizemore responded to Whitehouse Cleaners at 2803 Wrightsboro Rd, Suite 7, for a subject having a mental episode. Upon arrival, Deputy Sizemore met with the complainant, Tabitha Lykins, outside the business. Ms. Lykins was crying telling Deputy Sizemore the subject was going to kill himself. Deputy Sizemore made contact with the subject inside the business. The subject was found sitting in a chair with a pair of scissors pressed against his neck. Deputy Sizemore instructed the subject several times to drop the scissors with no response. As Deputy Sizemore continued talking with the subject, he began to press the scissors deeper into the side of his neck. Deputy Sizemore deployed his Taser causing the subject to drop the scissors, which slid on the floor away from the subject.
Due to Deputy Michael Sizemore’s quick thinking and actions, the subject was prevented from harming himself and was taken into custody without further incident. His actions are appreciated by this agency and all of Richmond County.
