Shot Deputy Released From Hospital

December 20, 2011

The Okaloosa County deputy shot earlier this month in Santa Rosa County has been released from the hospital.

Investigator Steve Hough of Fort Walton Beach was working as part of the US Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force  serving a warrant in the 5400 block of Camille Gardens Circle near Milton when he was shot December 9.

The suspect, 34-year old David Christopher Lewis, died last Thursday as a result of injuries he received during the shooting incident.

    Shot once in the face and twice in the leg, I heard he needed 3 surgeries.
    I doubt this is the ending of this story for this LEO. I like am very
    glad he will be home for Christmas in the arms of people who love and
    care for him. I hope the benevolent org. collected enough money to
    help with all his bills at the hospital and at home.

    Officer we wish you and your family a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.
    THANK YOU for all you have done for us.
