While others watched from their cars on McDonough Parkway recently, two men left their vehicles to help a lone Henry County policeman who found himself in a struggle with two brothers he had detained in a traffic stop.
For their concern and selflessness, Jonathan Scott, of Locust Grove, and John Goodson, of McDonough, have been honored by the Henry County Police Department.
