Governor Rick Scott is remembering a law enforcement officer, who lost his life while helping to escort President Barack Obama over the weekend. Scott says his heart goes out to Officer Bruce St. Laurent and his family.
“Our family [thoughts] goes out to that family and the entire law enforcement community in that area, and you just can’t imagine the devastation in these families,” said Scott.
St. Laurent was on Interstate-95 Sunday afternoon preparing to shut down the roadway for one of the President’s campaign stops, when he was struck by a pickup truck. A Jupiter Police spokeswoman says an investigation is ongoing. No charges have yet been filed against the driver.
