Local Family Thanks Deputy for Help

A local Santa Rosa family made a special trip to see Sheriff Wendell Hall to thank him for the compassion shown to their family on December 29, 2007. On that particular day Deputy Mike Bell was summoned to their residence after their teenage daughter had run away from home on Old Bagdad Highway. While there Deputy Bell discovered she had been seen by relatives at Lowe's on Highway 90. He proceeded to the store where he located the young teenager. The child's family soon arrived and Deputy Bell counseled her concerning the support and love of her family that had all rushed to support her. The girl's parents felt that the deputy's words were of great benefit to their daughter. Accordingly the girl's father and grandfather made the trek to Sheriff Hall's office to present Deputy Bell with a heartfelt thank you card for both his compassion and his dedication to duty. The family's name cannot be listed because of the age of their daughter. Click here for photo.
