SC S0569

Honors Deputy Kyle Richard Horton of the Hampton County Sheriff's Office for receiving the South Carolina Sheriffs' Association 2024 Medal of Valor Award, to be presented at the association's awards banquet in Columbia on April 23, 2025

Recognizes Deputy Horton's life-saving actions on April 16, 2024, when he stopped a speeding vehicle and discovered an elderly man, Wayne Gordyn Carter, whose tracheostomy tube had been dislodged and was causing bleeding

Deputy Horton successfully secured the dislodged trach tube back in place, which a home health nurse later confirmed saved Mr. Carter's life

Notes Deputy Horton's humble nature, as he did not submit an incident report for the event; the life-saving actions were documented through his body camera footage

Directs that a copy of the resolution be presented to Deputy Kyle Richard Horton
