Paulding Man Receives Sheriff’s ‘Good Samaritan Award’

Nathan Geyer was recognized for returning the cash and personal information a local resident lost this summer.

According to a Paulding County Sheriff’s Office news release, on June 1 of this year, Paulding resident Madison White left her residence in the late evening hours to go on vacation with her family.

Renae Hudgens is the wife of Paulding County Sheriff’s Deputy Mitch Hudgens. The event was sponsored by many of the county’s small business owners in an effort to support one of our neighbors in need to raise money to offset Mrs. Hudgens’ mounting medical bills. After a long and yet rewarding day of live auctions, raffles, motorcycle stunts, bands, bingo and barbecue, I went to bed that evening with a renewed sense of community and a greater understanding of the value of service. We often hear about what makes a strong community. Is it the businesses, …
