Four Johnson County sheriff's deputies received the Life Saving Award for rescuing a 6 year old boy confined in an attic in August. Sergeants Brent Moore and Mark Rokusek and Deputies Evan Comerio and John Klingele located the boy after a family member requested a search following a traffic warrant arrest of the boy’s mother Rachel Perez. The team forced entry, uncovering the child amid a smelling attic, and credits the rescue to quick action and persistence.
