I want to give a Huge THANKS to Officer Jonathan Kelley. He did a welfare check on our Father in Carnesville Ga. Our father being as stubborn as he is wouldn’t ...go to the Hospital. Officer Kelley reached out to EVERYONE he could get in touch with. I drove down Tuesday and He agreed with us to go to the Hospital. Officer Kelley escorted us there and by doing this saved his life. He would have not made it the rest of he week in the condition he was found in. Thank You Franklin County Sheriff Department and Officer Jonathan Kelley. Talk about going ABOVE and BEYOND is an understatement with this Great Guy. See more
