On March 17, 2023, Deputy Noah Johnson was en-route to the hospital with a subject when Deputy Johnson was flagged down by a motorist on the 3200 block of Deans Bridge Road. The motorist was in distress because her infant child could not breathe. Deputy Johnson instructed the female motorist to pull over. Deputy Johnson stopped behind her and exited his vehicle. As he approached, the female frantically exited the vehicle with a near lifeless child struggling to breathe. Deputy Johnson quickly called for EMS to be dispatched and then referred to his training, Deputy Johnson began performing necessary lifesaving skills to include the infant Heimlich maneuver. After several attempts, the infant began to breathe and then cry. Deputy Johnson then handed the child back to its grateful mother. Deputy Johnson turned the mother and child over to EMS once they arrived. He then returned to his vehicle and continued with his original transport. When asked about the incident, Deputy Johnson replied humbly, "It's just part of my job." Deputy Johnson's selfless service and dedication to duty reflects great credit upon himself and the Richmond County Sheriff's Office and is therefore worthy of recognition.
