Good samaritans awarded by Madison Police for helping injured officer

GOOD SAMARITANS – Madison Police Chief David Jernigan awarded two good samaritans at last Monday night’s city council meeting. Amiah Vann and April Spivey helped an injured Madison Police officer on I-565. “On June 12, two young ladies were traveling on I-565 when they witnessed one of our MPD vehicles as it was struck from behind,” said Jernigan. “They stopped, called 911, rendered aid to the officer, remaining with him until assistance arrived. Once the officer was cared for, they provided essential statements about the crash. Their courage, concern, and compassion is a testimony to their Samaritan spirit and character.”
