Fayette County, OH – Three Fayette County deputies are being recognized for their swift and life-saving actions during a domestic violence call earlier this month, according to the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Vernon Stanforth commended Deputies Ty Martin, Errol Ennis, and Blake Hammock for their response on the evening of October 4, 2025, when they encountered a violent scene involving a suspect and victim.
According to the department’s statement, deputies arrived to find a suspect bleeding heavily from his arm after allegedly punching through a window during the altercation. The deputies quickly detained the individual and applied a tourniquet to stop the severe bleeding, preventing a potentially fatal outcome.
The suspect was transported to a Dayton-area trauma center for treatment before being booked into the Fayette County Jail.
Sheriff Stanforth praised the deputies for their professionalism and composure during the tense incident. “Their actions prevented an already dangerous situation from becoming far worse,” he stated, adding thanks for their courage and commitment to service.
This incident underscores the life-saving training and quick decision-making often required of law enforcement officers responding to volatile situations in the field.
