DEPUTY OF THE MONTH
FEBRUARY 2025

Spotsylvania Sheriff Office Deputy of the Month

Deputy Alex Johnson

On February 22nd, Deputy Alex Johnson played a pivotal role in the apprehension of a wanted individual who had fled from law enforcement earlier in the day. The suspect, wanted for felony hit and run (which left a juvenile injured), reckless driving, obstruction of justice, and multiple outstanding warrants out of another jurisdiction, attempted to evade capture by hiding inside a residence. After securing a search warrant, units conducted a thorough sweep of the home, but the suspect was nowhere to be found—until Deputy Johnson turned his attention to the attic.

Despite the high risk involved, Deputy Johnson took it upon himself to clear the attic alone. He carefully lifted himself into the attic using a stool and a bucket. His sharp instincts led him to notice a suspicious bulge in the insulation. Upon closer inspection, he spotted clothing hidden beneath—and immediately gave commands for the suspect to show her hands. Initially refusing to comply, the suspect ultimately surrendered after firm and repeated commands from Deputy Johnson.

Deputy Johnson’s fearless leadership, relentless attention to detail, and unwavering dedication ensured a dangerous fugitive was removed from the streets. His bravery and commitment to the safety of our community make him highly deserving of Deputy of the Month for February!
