Deputy Swanger Shares Health & Injury Update
On Patrol: Live features officers in real-time situations, and some can be terrifying or dangerous. They will go on extensive car chases to catch the criminals or show up at homes in order to get the job done. Anything can and will happen, which is why fans tune in every week. Sadly, Deputy Dalton Swanger of the Knox County Sheriff’s Office recently found himself in the line of fire. He was reporting to the site of alleged gunshots and was hiding behind a tree for protection. Unfortunately, in the darkness, he had no idea what was going on and was smacked in the head.
He was bleeding, which he had no idea of due to the darkness, and was soon taken to the ambulance. That was when he realized his leg was no longer working and suffered a grand mal seizure. This would go on for roughly an hour, and it impaired his breathing. Per Deputy Swanger, he suffered a “depressed skull fracture, cerebral contusion, disc protrusions in his cervical spine, and an intracranial contusion.”
He thanked the On Patrol: Live community for being there and constantly checking in on him. Moreover, he expressed his gratitude to God and his girlfriend, Stephania. Deputy Swanger finally stated that he will do this job until he is no longer able to. This is a testament to how much he loves what he does, regardless of the risks he has to take and the injuries he sustained.
