Body camera rolls as Florida deputy saves man from drowning

Quick-thinking deputy jumps fence, rushes to water

HOLIDAY, Fla. ā€“ A Pasco County sheriff's deputy's body camera captured a dramatic rescue this week after a man almost drowned.

Deputy Taylor Grant received a call about a possible drowning around 8 a.m. Thursday at gated community in the town of Holiday.Ā He had to jumpĀ a 10-foot fenceĀ and run almost 5 acres to get to the scene, authorities said. As Grant closed in, heĀ heard the victim's wife screaming for help as she struggled to pull her husband, 51-year-old Juan Munoz-Valencia, out of the water.

The Munoz-Valencia was caught between a seawall and a floating dock, complicating the rescue. Grant rushed in and pulled Munoz-ValenciaĀ onto the dock. At first, Munoz-ValenciaĀ was unresponsive, but Grant managed to revive him.

Paramedics rushed Munoz-Valencia to a local hospital, where he was listed in critical condition Friday.

"Adrenaline kicked in, and training kicked in," Grant said at news conference Friday. "There was no fear that I had."
