Greencastle police officers honored

Greencastle police officer Keith Russell was surrounded by his family, police chief John Phillippy, and borough council president Charles Eckstine as he  was honored at the council meeting July 6 for his resuce of two people at a house fire May 23.

He was assisted by officer Kevin Creager, who was also recognized but unable to attend the meeting.

Phillippy said, “We get beat up a lot as cops, by the public and the press. I thought they deserved the recognition.”
