H.R. No. 1422
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Two dedicated officers, Lieutenant Tami McCullough
and Deputy Charles Sibley, have brought great credit to the Collin
County Sheriff's Office through their lifesaving actions; and
WHEREAS, On July 10, 2016, Housing Lieutenant Tami
McCullough, a 15-year veteran of the sheriff's office, responded to
a medical emergency at a detention facility, where an inmate had
choked while eating and had lost consciousness; after determining
that the man was in cardiac arrest, Lieutenant McCullough performed
chest compressions and cleared his airway, and she continued CPR
until medical personnel arrived and transported the inmate to a
local hospital; he is alive today thanks to Lieutenant McCullough's
swift and skillful intervention; and
WHEREAS, Environmental Crimes Investigator Charles "Chuck"
Sibley has served with the sheriff's office since May 2013; on
December 26, 2015, he learned of an approaching tornado while he was
off duty at his home; putting himself at risk, he drove to several
stores in nearby Copeville to warn others, and then tracked the
storm, reporting on its progress to emergency personnel; when he
reached Farmersville, he blocked southbound traffic on Highway 78
until the storm had passed; he later returned to assist with search
and rescue operations in Copeville, where the Hilltop Grocery store
had taken a direct hit; because of Deputy Sibley's timely warning,
three people survived the storm uninjured; and
WHEREAS, Faced with dire situations, Lieutenant McCullough
and Deputy Sibley drew on their training to protect individuals in
danger, and their heroic efforts have distinguished them as truly
outstanding members of the law enforcement profession; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Lieutenant Tami McCullough and Deputy
Charles "Chuck" Sibley for their contributions to public safety in
Collin County and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued
success with their important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Lieutenant McCullough and Deputy Sibley as an
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
