Trooper Tucker arrived before EMS personnel and was shown the location of the unconscious man, later identified as Franklin L. Jester, in a garage. A female was attempting to perform CPR.
Trooper Tucker immediately relieved the female and began performing CPR. He continued for approximately nine minutes until relieved by the first responding EMS personnel. The victim was transported to Kent General Hospital.
Later in the day, Crumpton Volunteer Fire Department Assistant Chief Joseph Joyner called the barrack to advise that Trooper Tucker’s actions resulted in the victim surviving. He also said the victim would likely be discharged from Kent General Hospital later in the day.
