Sheriff Pruit Commended
Note: The following is a fax we received from Rachel S. Dobbs, Gardendale, Texas, and is printed in its entirety.
Late last Sunday night (8/6), I received a call from Sheriff Royce Pruit. My parents’ car had broken down south of Garden City and 911 had routed their call to Sheriff Pruit. I live in north Ector County and told him it would take me an hour to get there. Sheriff Pruit got out of his bed to go check on my parents. In the meantime, a minister was nice enough to give them a ride to the Fina station in Garden City. When the sheriff could not find them on the roadside, he called me, then went to check on my parents at the Fina station, and stayed with them until I arrived. Sheriff Pruit went above and beyond the call of duty. I just wanted to make sure the residents of Glasscock County knew what a great sheriff you have. My parents are 71 and 75 and I was very worried about them sitting on the side of the road so late at night. I can’t thank the sheriff enough for his caring. I hope all of you remember his small acts of kindness when Sheriff Pruit has another election. It is very rare to find a person who truly cares about his fellow man anymore. Sincerely, Rachel S. Dobbs.
