With a deep respect for law enforcement, Brooklet resident John Long set out early Monday morning to make a 40-mile trek from one end of Bulloch County to the other to raise awareness of National Peace Officers Memorial Day and National Police Week. He started at the Bulloch/Jenkins county line on Highway 80 and planned to walk through Portal, Statesboro, Brooklet and Stilson until he reached the Bulloch/Bryan county line. However, due to heat exhaustion, Long made it through 27 of his planned 40 miles before being transported to East Georgia Regional Medical Center for treatment.
