LANSING, Mich. – An officer with the Michigan State Police was honored with an award for bravery on Monday for actions taken several months ago while off-duty, according to a report.
Motor Carrier Officer Jacob Lauer, of the MSP St. Ignace Post, received the award for his life-saving efforts that also put himself in danger while pulling an unconscious man from a burning semi-truck, mlive.com reported.
Lauer was on vacation in March and traveling along the highway when he saw heavy, black smoke coming from a semi-truck that was in the ditch and on fire off US-23 in Monroe County.
