Investigator Walter “Griff” Garrison was presented a Plaque of Appreciation for his service to the community by Chief Deputy Patrick Clayton. On Tuesday, April 2, 2013, at approximately 8 a.m., while in Thomson, GA, Investigator Garrison observed a male suspect illegally entering automobiles. The Thomson Police Department was notified and upon entry to the area, a foot chase ensued. Investigator Garrison chased the suspect and assisted in the arrest. Although Peace Officers know they are on duty 24/7, it certainly is above and beyond the call of duty to observe, chase and arrest suspects while off duty and within another county. It is evident that Investigator Garrison will do whatever it takes to help make our community and the surrounding areas better through his actions. Items found in possession of the suspect linked him to additional cars that had been broken into and having him removed from our streets is good for all of the Central Savannah River Area. Sheriff Roundtree also issued a letter to Investigator Garrison letting him know that our agency and community as well as those from Thomson are very grateful for his actions while off duty that ensured the arrest of this suspect and hopefully the clearing of additional cases.
