PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla.— Senator Ashley Moody presented a Florida’s Finest Award to
Putnam County Sheriff’s Deputy Colt Wade whose heroic action saved the life of
a one-year-old. Following a 911 call about an unresponsive child, Deputy Wade
arrived on-scene and rendered aid to the child, regaining a pulse until
paramedics ultimately used Narcan to save their life. After getting a warrant
to search the home, deputies discovered marijuana, cocaine, meth pills, bags
containing an unknown white powdery substance and guns.
Senator Ashley Moody said, “The quick and heroic action of Putnam County Deputy
Colt Wade saved the life of an innocent child. Deputy Wade is the embodiment of
courage, compassion and commitment, an example of unwavering dedication to the
mission and safety of our communities, and undoubtedly one of Florida’s Finest.
It was my honor to recognize his life-saving action.”
As Florida’s Attorney General, Senator Moody highlighted heroic law
enforcement actions through her Back the Blue Award. During her tenure as
Attorney General, Senator Moody gave out more than 50 Back the Blue Awards. The
“Florida’s Finest” Award continues the tradition of honoring extraordinary
Floridians who take brave actions within their communities.
