Medal of Bravery

On February 4, 2013, off-duty Inspector Ron Wheeldon, of the Midland Police Service, and Sergeant Brent Young, of the Ontario Provincial Police, were instrumental in stopping an assault on a woman in Quintana Roo, Mexico. Messrs. Wheeldon and Young broke into a hotel room where an intoxicated man was abusing his wife. The man turned on the officers and a struggle ensued. They managed to lead the man outside, giving the woman a chance to escape. Hotel security guards then restrained the assailant until the police arrived.
