Thieroff was on patrol on Sunday, November 27 when he was called to Apricot Lane in Levittown for a choking victim. He entered the victim’s home and found the person unresponsive on the kitchen floor. The 39-year lawman rushed to aid the victim and cleared their blocked airway, saving their life, officials said.
