Two deputies with the Brazos County Sheriff's Office have received Life Saving Awards for helping a man who could not breathe at a community event they were attending while off duty, the sheriff's office said.
Deputy Dillon Donaldson and Sgt. Zane Pedersen were recognized at the agency's yearly awards ceremony, KBTX reported Wednesday.
What happened
The deputies had gone with their families to a Daddy-Daughter Dance held at Bryan's Brazos Center. According to the sheriff's office, the two spotted a man close to them who appeared to be choking. Working as a pair, they cleared his airway and he began breathing again, officials said. The sheriff's office has not publicly identified the man.
