Deputy Ronald Bartlett responded to BI-LO on 1632 Gordon Hwy. on Sept. 22, 2013, in reference to a domestic dispute. On arrival it was determined that a female and her 11-month-old child had been staying in a motel room with a friend and after a verbal dispute they had been kicked out of the motel by the friend and had no place to go. Being unable to locate anyplace for the mother and child to go for the night, Deputy Bartlett transported both to the Relaxed Inn on Gordon Hwy at Molly Pond Road. Deputy Bartlett then paid for a room out of his own pocket for both the mother and child to stay the night. Deputy Ronald Bartlett is commended for his leadership and compassion. Deputy Bartlett’s excellent work was a comfort for this family during a difficult time. Our agency and community are very grateful for your service and dedication with the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office
