Community Rallies for Injured Deputy

A heartfelt 88-mile charity ride raised over $3,000 to support Deputy Rodney Yates, paralyzed after being shot in June, with funds aimed at covering essentials like food, clothing, and housing during his Atlanta hospital stay. Organized by Columbia Fire Captain Nathan Guy, the event rallied community support, with family friend Holli Sapen praising the outpouring of love. Yet, the ride also saw a collision involving a motorcycle and a three-wheeled vehicle, injuring a Richland police officer who was airlifted — prompting an investigation by the Mississippi Highway Patrol. Amid the emotional support and unexpected setbacks, the focus remains on Deputy Yates’ recovery. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
