It was Deputy Stone’s seventh year to compete in the games, which are held every year and sponsored by the Texas Police Athletic Federation.
“We want to thank Sheriff Parkey and the entire Sheriff’s Office for giving us the opportunity to compete,” Deputy Stone said. “This is truly a department-wide event, because other employees have to step up and substitute on our regular shifts during the week we’re at the games.”
