On-duty deputy suffers stroke

(KAIR)--A Jefferson County Sheriff’s Deputy suffered a stroke while on duty Sunday afternoon.

WIBW TV reports the deputy is recovering.

Sheriff Jeff Herrig told the TV station that the deputy and a Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper were responding to the report of a domestic, around 1:00 in Perry, at the time it occurred.

The Trooper recognized indicators of a stroke when the deputy began to show symptoms, and immediately took the deputy to Stormont Vail in Topeka for treatment.

Herrig said that allowed the deputy to get needed medication, with a full recovery expected.

The name of the deputy has not been released.
