Two Christian County Sheriff’s Deputies were honored for their life-saving work in DUI enforcement. Deputies Phil Deal and James Pickett were awarded a certificate of appreciation and recognition from the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists.

Christian County Sheriff Bruce Kettelkamp says driving under the influence is a serious problem and these two men are doing excellent work at combatting the issue.

Kettelkamp says everyone can do their part in keeping intoxicated drivers off the roads.

Kettelkamp says every year hundreds of people are killed and thousands severely injured as a result of alcohol and drug related crashes in Illinois. He thanks Deal and Pickett for their dedication and commitment to protecting and serving Christian County residents.
