NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The North Charleston Police Department honored one of their officers who helped save an elderly woman from a flooded roadway.
Ptl. Louis Pinnacle-Brown had finished an off-duty detail when he heard multiple calls for a disturbance at the Park Circle playground in early July.
Several units were unable to get there because of flooding, the department said.
While on his way, Officer Pinnacle-Brown saw a vehicle that was caught in the flooding at the intersection of East Montague Avenue and Piedmont Avenue.
Police said an elderly driver was inside the vehicle.
“Officer Pinnacle-Brown carried her from the vehicle and out of the flooding,” the agency said. He ensured the woman was not injured.
Ptl. Pinnacle-Brown received a Certificate of Recognition from the department in July.
