The King County Sheriff honored five teenagers as heroes after they saved a deputy who was being assaulted.
Deputy Elliott was off duty when she was flagged down after an intoxicated man caused a car crash.
When the man tried to leave, Elliott tried to arrest him, but instead he put her in a headlock, choking her.
That’s when a group of five teens jumped on the suspect and struggled with him allowing Deputy Elliott to get free. They held the suspects shoulders and legs to the ground to allow Deputy Elliott to handcuff the man.
The teens were given the Community Heroism Award — it’s the highest award a civilian can receive from the sheriff’s office.
And a young boy in Conway, South Carolina, is making a big difference in his community, one act of kindness at a time.
Feeding the hungry and mowing lawns for busy first responders and single mothers are just a few of the ways Greyson Winfield is making a positive impact.
With the help of his parents, the 8-year-old started an organization called Helping Footprint — which collects donations that are then used to buy gift cards for food or to help pay bills for area families. The son of two former firefighters has grown up around acts of service, which inspired him to do his part in his community.
So far Greyson has delivered gift cards for food to six families and cut nine lawns with his brother and foster brother’s help. The boys plan to mow five lawns each week.
