CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - Two Fort Campbell soldiers, Scott Puckett and Joseph Demille, received Mayor’s Certificates for taking action and assisting law enforcement in capturing burglars in December 2011.
On December 27, 2011, a little after midnight Joseph Demille caught three teenagers breaking into vehicles in his neighborhood. He took decisive action and detained the men until Police arrived.
On the next night, December 28, 2011 around 2:15 am, Scott Puckett saw a man in his yard opening and closing the door to his vehicle. He confronted the man, who screamed and run, but Puckett quickly caught up to him. The man fought with Puckett, dragging him across the yard. Puckett was able to subdue the man and hold him until Police arrived.
The man Puckett subdued was later charged with four other vehicle burglaries and fraudulent use of a credit card.
Scott Puckett and Joseph Demille were presented the Mayor’s certificates at the City Council meeting held at Public Square.
