Heroic Actions - Mr. Sam Stephens Presentation of a Proclamation recognizing Parks and Recreation/Facilities employee Mr. Sam Stephens, for his outstanding act of bravery that saved the life of a two year-old toddler. On October 30, 2013 a mother and her two year-old son were at Laurel Park for the day. At one point, the toddler got away from the mother and plunged himself into the water. Mr. Stephens observed this from several yards away and immediately jumped from his lawn mower and dove into the water and saved the toddler. Metro Ambulance arrived on scene and checked the toddler out to make sure there were no injuries and released him at the scene. Mr. Stephens is to be commended for his heroic actions that saved this life of this young child.
