A quick-thinking Bulloch County sheriff’s deputy was commended for his actions that saved a child’s life after an all-terrain vehicle accident Wednesday. Sgt. Rey Rodriguez received the Lifesaving Medal from the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday, said sheriff’s Chief Deputy Jared Akins. Rodriguez was first to arrive at the scene at a Sinkhole Road address around 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, where he found a 10-year-old boy pinned at the neck by a large ATV that had flipped on top of him, he said.
