LeRoy police officer Michael Bennett was honored with a medal and certificate of commendation for his efforts in saving a life.
Bennett performed CPR on Howard Hauboldt of Wisconsin, a long-haul truck driver staying at LeRoy’s Super 8 Motel, after Hauboldt went into cardiac arrest. Bennett started CPR and directed Hauboldt’s driving partner to assist. Hauboldt was hospitalized in Bloomington and released a week later.
“Officer Bennett responded and applied his training in the highest tradition of the law enforcement profession to save a life. For his efforts, we commend him for being instrumental in saving the life of Howard Hauboldt,” Mayor Dave McClelland.
