She said deputies were adamant about helping get her vehicle out safely.“If it weren’t for their advice and intervention, I’d have probably just let any random person tie a rope up to my car and it possibly causing untold damage to the front end,” she said.“I’m so thankful for local law enforcement, putting their lives on the line every day to serve and protect us... One evening they might be helping me get a tow; But another they may be sent out on a dangerous call, have a shootout,or car chase.
