DeSoto Parish Sheriff's Office Honors Three

 

 

 

On October 25, 2019 at 8:00a.m., Sheriff Jayson Richardson along with many Deputies, 911 Dispatchers, Fire, and EMT crew traveled to North DeSoto Middle School to honor Marvin Johnson Jr. and those that performed a life-saving act just a few weeks ago.

 

On October 1, 2019, Deputy Larry McCloskey, Brandy McCloskey, and Shreveport Detective Richard Turpin jumped into action as Marvin collapsed during a football game between North DeSoto and Rusheon Middle Schools. Thanks to the dedication and swift action of these three and many other First Responders, a life was saved that night and Marvin was able to celebrate with us on this day. Many representatives from the DeSoto Parish School System were in attendance as well as surrounding parishes.

 

Superintendent Clay Corley led the presentation with Sheriff Richardson presenting the awards. Students, family, and community leaders were also treated to donuts and refreshments provided by the school as many stayed behind to take pictures with Marvin and his family. Sheriff Richardson is proud of the strength that Marvin and his family have shown through this situation, and for all of those that responded so quickly. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Johnson family as Marvin moves forward with the healing process.
