The deputy sheriff who was involved in this story is a member of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) in Illinois, a law enforcement department that employs over 400 people. The sheriffs of the MCSO are described on the department’s website as “conservators of peace.” No doubt the stories that these officers normally share with their family and friends are drastically different to the one that this officer went home with, and it’s a story he’ll likely tell for a long time!
