April 15, 2021 On July 6, 2020, Officer Marquita Sanders of the Pelham Police Department and Deputy Kameron Bozeman of the Mitchell County Sheriff's Office responded to a shots fired call on James Street in Pelham. Upon arriving on the scene, they learned there was an armed, home invasion robbery in progress and the resident's girlfriend and children were still inside the house with the offenders. As both officers approached the residence to investigate further, one of the of...fenders fired three shots at the officers, one of which struck a vehicle near the officers. Both Officer Sanders and Deputy Bozeman exhibited great decision-making and restraint, by not returning fire when unaware if there were innocent bystanders in the surrounding darkness. The officers then secured the residence, making sure the female and children were safe. The officers displayed extreme courage, even when finding themselves under fire, in order to protect the lives of the residents as well as the general public. Due to the courageous performance of their duties, Mayor James Eubanks and Police Chief Nealie McCormick awarded the Pelham Police Department Medal of Courage Under Fire to Officer Marquita Sanders and Deputy Kameron Bozeman.
