Beverly Hoffman-Wright and Caleb A. Lee
Deputy Beverly Hoffman-Wright and Deputy Caleb A. Lee responded to 4305 White Pines Court on Sept. 23, 2013, in reference to a welfare check. The deputies were advised by an out of state caller that the subject, Ubell Nimo, was threatening to commit suicide and wished for this agency to check on his well-being. Upon arrival, Deputies Hoffman-Wright and Lee could hear an unknown type motor running in the garage but could not access the garage from the outside of the residence. The deputies found the front door unlocked and entered the residence. Deputies Hoffman-Wright and Lee found Nimo unresponsive in the garage with a gas weed eater and a gas blower running. The deputies opened the main garage door and were able to remove Nimo from the garage into the fresh air but not before both deputies were exposed to large amounts of carbon monoxide. Gold Cross responded to the scene and transported both deputies and Nimo to University Hospital for treatment. The quick and selfless actions of Deputy Hoffman-Wright and Deputy Lee were paramount in saving Nimo’s life.
