BOSSIER CITY, LA (KTBS ) A deputy and a deputy’s wife were recognized recently for going above and beyond to save lives.
Bossier Parish Sheriff Julian Whittington presented Deputy John McClain and nurse Jeri Ebarb with Life Saving Awards during a recent Christmas banquet.
McClain acted quickly to save a man from being hit by a train in Bossier City. He spotted the man sitting on the tracks as a train approached. In McClain’s mind was an incident months before when he said a man committed suicide not too far away by being on the train tracks.
“I had only had like three to five seconds to act, so I grabbed him by his armpits and just pulled him out of the way of the train,” said McClain.
