Deputy Shot Last Year Gets Organ Transplant

August 25, 2011

Escambia County Sheriff’s Deputy Jeremy Cassady, who was shot in the line of duty, received a pancreas and kidney transplant in Tampa Wednesday.

Family members said Wednesday night that the transplant appeared to be successful for both organs and Cassady was recovering well. The entire operation took over eight hours.

Cassady was shot by Phillip Monier, 47, on October 29, 2010. Monier remains in the Escambia County Jail on $2 million bond. He is charged with three counts of attempted murder, aggravated assault, false imprisonment and home invasion robbery.

    I am so excited to hear that he is on the road to recovery and received the transplants he needed. Now just to get him home again where he belongs with family and friends. Many who doubt the LORD will now see that he does work in great and mighty ways. GOD bless you Cassady family!

    May the Lord be with officer Cassady and give him a full recovery. Monier, is it pronounced Monya? No matter how you pronounce it, Good Riddance!
