Body cameras from two Florida deputies have recorded the heroic rescue of a 4-year-old nonverbal boy with autism from a snake-infested pond.

On July 11, at 10:30 a.m., two deputies from Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO), Deputy Arron Gibson and Deputy Clarissa Brady, were called separately to Valleyridge Court on the busy Thonotosassa Road to follow up on the sighting of a lone child wearing only a diaper. A driver, who had seen the child run across the street toward a pond, dialed 911.
