An act of heroism from a man paying his penance to society was recognized by authorities, following the devastating tornadoes that ripped through West Kentucky, destroying a candle factory last December.
In the days and weeks after the disaster, Graves County Sheriff’s Office learned of an inmate who was on work detail at the candle factory on Dec. 10, the night of the collapse, and how he had selflessly come to the rescue of others still trapped inside.
