THREE LOCAL DEPUTIES GET HONORS FROM STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL

The State Attorney General honored local law enforcement agencies and residents for their service last week. Attorney General Kamala D. Harris presented awards on Thursday at Auto Club Speedway during a regional meeting with law enforcement leaders. Recipients of the awards were nominated by law enforcement agencies. Three Morongo Basin Station San Bernardino County sheriff’s employees—Sergeant Trevis Newport, Deputy Bandon Abell, and Deputy Kristi Dougan—were awarded for their work when they came to the Joshua Tree home of a suicidal man in August. The deputies found the man lying on a bed in a pool of blood. He had a self-inflicted stab wound to his thigh and was still holding a handgun. Dougan grabbed the gun from the man. Abell was also awarded for rescuing a car crash victim on Highway 62 in January. The Riverside Police Department nominated San Bernardino County sheriff’s scientific investigations division for processing DNA evidence related to the abduction and killing of a 9-year-old girl in 2011. The evidence led to the arrest of a suspect.
