HOLIDAY, Fla. – A Pasco County sheriff's deputy's body camera captured a dramatic rescue this week after a man almost drowned.
Deputy Taylor Grant received a call about a possible drowning around 8 a.m. Thursday at gated community in the town of Holiday. He had to jump a 10-foot fence and run almost 5 acres to get to the scene, authorities said. As Grant closed in, he heard the victim's wife screaming for help as she struggled to pull her husband, 51-year-old Juan Munoz-Valencia, out of the water.
The Munoz-Valencia was caught between a seawall and a floating dock, complicating the rescue. Grant rushed in and pulled Munoz-Valencia onto the dock. At first, Munoz-Valencia was unresponsive, but Grant managed to revive him.
Paramedics rushed Munoz-Valencia to a local hospital, where he was listed in critical condition Friday.
"Adrenaline kicked in, and training kicked in," Grant said at news conference Friday. "There was no fear that I had."
