Sheriff Brad White has released more information about the altercation between Major Leslie Holmes and Joy Lynn Day who allegedly bit Holmes after claiming to be HIV positive. Day was shot in the arm but is now in the Lamar County jail on multiple charges.
UPDATE: Day tested negative for HIV at the hospital, sheriff White reported Sunday morning.
Major Holmes has certainly been through it, hasn't she?
Fighting for her gun, getting bitten, and waiting for test results.
Our law enforcement personnel, heck, all our first responder personnel are our local heroes.
And on this, Memorial Day, our military personnel are our country's heroes.
We are so fortunate to have these brave ladies and gentlemen who step forward to do the work we cannot or will not.
Thanks to you all!
Even in a tiny county like Lamar, our law enforcement men and women never know when something very dangerous will happen to them.
