mission: HERO
HAMPTON, GA – A Hampton police officer is a life saver, not once, but twice, and all within eight days.
Hampton Police Officer Mason Lewis was dispatched to a domestic incident where a female had been attached by her ex-husband. The ex-husband ran the lady off the road and then attacked her with a machete, cutting off her arm.
Officer Lewis arrived to find the victim bleeding profusely and quickly applied a tourniquet to slow the bleeding. Paramedics and doctors advised this quick action by Officer Lewis directly prevented the loss of life of the female.
Eight days later, Officer Lewis received a call of an overdose with a subject who was unconscious. Officer Lewis arrived and noticed the person was barely breathing and quickly administered NARCAN to the subject. This application was successful and the subject regained consciousness.
For his actions, Hampton City Council recognized Officer Lewis with a proclamation honoring his heroism.
Thank you for your service Officer Lewis. You are a true hero…….x 2.
