(La Porte County, IN) - Two La Porte County Sheriff’s deputies have been recognized for their generosity while on duty. Recently, according to a Sheriff’s Department facebook post, Deputy Josh Smith and Deputy Jon Samuelson went above and beyond the call of duty to assist people in need.

Smith pulled over to help what he thought was a stranded motorist. In fact, the woman claimed that she was looking for a hundred-dollar bill that had flown out her window. They were unable to locate the money, which the woman said she needed for rent. After his shift, Deputy Smith went to the bank, withdrew $100 and delivered it to her place of work.

Deputy Jon Samuelson also did a good deed. Investigating a stolen vehicle, he learned that two child car seats had been removed from the car. The car’s owner didn’t have money to replace them. So Samuelson arranged for one to be donated, and he paid for another one out of his own pocket.

For the record, the deputies did not boast about their deeds. Fellow officers reported their generosity.
