Baby Girl Rescued From Hot Car
The doors were unlocked so they did not have to break the windows, but a Chipley Police Officer and his wife took action to save a baby left unattended in a hot car. The Walton County Sheriff’s Office and the Holmes County Times Advertiser reports Officer Tyler Brannon and his wife Amanda saved the infant while at a DeFuniak Springs feed store Saturday afternoon.
The paper reports the couple was making their way toward the store entrance when they heard an alarming noise. They heard a sound and began looking into vehicles when they found a baby around one year old strapped in the car seat.
The paper reports Tyler said the little girl was soaked and showing signs of dehydration. They called 911 and discovered the child was left in the van by a babysitter. Tyler said, “Even after EMS and law enforcement got here, the babysitter still hadn't walked out of the store."

Bills Coach Arrested
On Saturday night deputies with the Walton County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence on Winston lane at Inlet Beach in Walton County, in reference to a battery.
When they arrived deputies spoke to the caller and learned three boys had been fishing on the beach when the suspect, later identified as Buffalo Bills Offensive Line Coach Aaron Kromer, and the suspect’s son confronted them over the use of beach chairs left by a beach access.
Victims told deputies Kromer grabbed their fishing pole and threw the pole into the water and then pushed one of the boys to the ground and punched him in the face. It was stated Kromer then told the boys to return the chairs to where they found them.
The victim stated Kromer also told him if he reported him to the police he would kill his family.
Kromer was subsequently arrested early Sunday morning on a misdemeanor battery charge and transported and booked into the Walton County Jail. He has since been released on bond.
WCSO is continuing to investigate and additional charges may be filed. WCSO executive staff will be reviewing this case first thing Monday morning.
