BURLESON, Texas — Burleson County Chief Deputy John Pollock was released from St. Joseph Hospital Friday after he was shot Tuesday evening while issuing an arrest warrant.
Chief Deputy Pollock was taken to the hospital Tuesday where he has since recovered from surgery.
"By God’s grace and mercy I’m still here," Pollock said in a Facebook post. "My family and I are overwhelmed at the outpouring of love and of support shown by friends, family, our community and total strangers."
On Friday, law enforcement officers from several agencies showed up to honor their fellow officer and his road to recovery.
The cars then proceeded to leave the hospital in a motorcade that went all the way out to Burleson County off FM 60.
His family and friends were in the area as the motorcade was traveling and said they are happy to see he’s in good health and look forward to seeing him recover fully.
A GoFundMe has since been opened to raise money for Pollock and his family. If you'd like to donate, visit here.
