Congratulations to Deputy Steve An on his promotion to Investigator.

Corporal Eard Trimmingham 

On Wednesday July 2, 2014, Corporal Trimmingham was patrolling the area around the 200 block of Boy Scout Road when he was flagged down by a very excited 7 year old son of Treeuisha Walker, of 222 Boy Scout Road. He told Corporal Trimmingham that his mother needed him. He responded and was advised by Ms. Walker that her 3 year old daughter, Michiah Walker, was choking on a piece of candy. She told him that she had stuck her finger in the child’s mouth to try and remove it but it wouldn’t come out. Corporal Trimmingham took the child and performed the Heimlich maneuver and the candy was dislodged. He then called for Gold Cross Ambulance Service to respond and check the child. She was determined to be fine and did not need any further treatment.

 Deputy John Scott,

On 061914, Deputy Michael Rollins received a call to Virginia College at 2807 Wylds Road in reference to a child locked in a vehicle. Deputy Oleg Grinko, the team leader, was the first on the scene and a short time later Deputy Rollins and Deputies Jacob Green and John Scott arrived. Raisa Garnett, a security guard with the college met them and advised that she was flagged down by an unidentified person in reference to a possible child left in a Toyota 4 Runner. Upon investigating Ms. Garnett thought she heard a baby crying. Deputy Grinko also heard the faint sound of a baby crying but could not see it due to it being covered by a blanket. He was able to reach through a partially rolled down window and pull the blanket away to reveal the child who was in the hatch back area of the vehicle. Deputies Grinko, Rollins and Scott attempted to gain entry through the windows and doors but were unsuccessful. Deputy Green found the sunroof partially open and was able to get in and unlock the vehicle. First responders who were present determined the child to be in critical condition at that point. The child was stabilized and transported to GRU. Investigation revealed that the mother, Alicia Manigault, had left the child in the vehicle while she took a test at the college. The child was in the vehicle for approximately 45 minutes in a non-shaded area without the air conditioner on.
