Description

The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office is mourning one of their own, as another front line worker falls victim to the coronavirus. Like too many essential workers, Wilkerson was exposed to COVID-19 and recently passed away. "These last 2 years have been tough for us. I mean, Melissa is the third one we've lost. And it's been tough for us here at the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office," explains Sheriff Welden. Deputy Mickey Bowen died of COVID related complications in October, followed by Lieutenant Jeff Bain in January. All those deaths due to the virus are taking a toll on their entire work family. "Get your vaccination, please." They didn't and now they're gone.
