Deputies Rescue Grandmother
A house fire on the afternoon of January 6, 2006, on Lynwood Street in Kingsland severely burned a one-year-old boy and nearly took the life an elderly woman. Investigators believe the fire started at about 4:00 p.m. in the crib of the infant boy after his mother left a burning candle on a dresser beside his crib. The child was left in the crib unattended.
The mother, and owner of the residence, Jennifer Lynette Brown, 24, told investigators she was standing outside the residence when she heard her child screaming. She and a neighbor went into the residence, extinguished the fire and brought out the child. He was transported by air ambulance to Shands Hospital in Jacksonville, Fla., then transported to Shands Burn center in Gainesville, Fla., with first and second degree burns over 30 percent of his body.
The responding deputies, Dep. Robert Godley and Dep. Richard Riggle, asked Brown three times if anyone else was in the residence before she told them her grandmother was still inside. At that point Godley and Riggle entered the smoke-filled home and found, Shirley Durham, 72, incapacitated, but alive and unharmed, lying on a bed. The deputies picked up the mattress, left Durhan on it and carried her to safety.
Sheriff Bill Smith said he was proud of the deputies’ efforts.
“This is not something that deputies are called upon to do very often, but once they realized there was someone left in the home they did not hesitate to go in and get her. Dep. Godley and Dep. Riggle did an outstanding job and saved Mrs. Durham’s life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the young child who was not as fortunate and burned very badly.”
The fire remains under investigation by the Sheriff’s Office and Camden County Fire Rescue.
Fast Forward 4 years.....
Now they were so proud of the arrest they started a whole thread on Topix. Months past and I file a complaint with the St. Marys PD and low and behold Godley removes all his posts from this thread, Why?
