Despite the suspect's aggressive behavior and the risk to his fellow deputy, Deputy Bush maintained control of the situation.
Deputy Bush's quick thinking and determination were crucial in preventing a potentially fatal incident. As the suspect attempted to draw his weapon, Deputy Bush engaged him physically, ensuring that the gun could not be used against the deputies. His actions not only led to the successful apprehension of the suspect but also likely saved the life of his fellow deputy, who was in immediate danger. The resolution expresses deep gratitude and admiration for Deputy Bush's bravery and commitment to public safety, officially recognizing him for his heroic service.
