(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.
