MAYVILLE – A Chautauqua County sheriff’s deputy helped to save the life of an infant during an incident at a local restaurant Monday afternoon.
According to the Post-Journal, Deputy Adam McAdoo was eating lunch at the Mayville Diner with coworkers when a woman about two tables over yelled that her 8-month-old child was not breathing. McAdoo – who’s also an emergency medical technician – rushed to the child and began first aid, dislodging the food and likely saving the baby’s life in the process.
McAdoo has been an EMT for about two years; he volunteered for the training, something all candidates going through the local Sheriff’s Academy are now required to do.
