Deputy Bryan Hicks receives warm homecoming from area law enforcement - 14 News WFIE Evansville

POSEY CO., Ind. (WFIE) - When Deputy Bryan Hicks was shot in the line of duty, many weren’t sure when they would see him back in Posey County.

Sheriff Tom Latham told 14 News on Sunday that Hicks’ recovery and return to Posey County after only four months is nothing short of a miracle.

“Bryan is a very dedicated person,” Sheriff Latham said. “This just goes to show and prove how dedicated of a person he is. Being able to overcome what he has been able to overcome is miraculous.”

On Friday, Deputy Hicks was let out of the hospital.

Latham said he’s been following along and providing support through the whole process.

“I have seen him on several occasions since he’s been home,” he said. “His spirits are high. He’s focused on getting better.”

He said what happened to his deputy was a nightmare - a situation no one ever wants to deal with, but the compassion of the community has shown him that there can be good in a terrible situation.

“There’s no words that can describe how it makes the agency and Bryan and his family feel with the support,” he said. “I just ask for continued prayers for Bryan and his family as he continues this battle to get better.”

He said they look forward to him recovering even more.
