ELLSWORTH The Hancock County Commissioners Tuesday, via the online meeting platform Zoom, recognized Hancock County Sheriff’s Deputy Jeff McFarland for being named the Maine Sheriff’s Association Deputy of the Year for 2020.
McFarland was honored for his efforts in saving the life of a suicidal Brooklin man on April 24, 2019.
Sheriff Scott Kane said McFarland was supposed to have been given the award last March, but the association’s annual banquet was cancelled due to the pandemic.
McFarland and his wife, Cheryl, were present Tuesday morning with the sheriff.
Kane read the nomination letter he’d sent to the sheriff’s association. On the day of the incident in April, the Brooklin man had climbed a tree with a belt and was threatening to kill himself. A Maine State Police trooper had been handling the incident and called for backup.
