The St Tammany Sheriff’s Office asks that everyone please join Sheriff Randy Smith in praying for Deputy Doby and his family.
He began experiencing complications during his recovery, and had to go back in the hospital.
Deputy Doby was patrolling the area of Highway 21 and Highway 1083 in Waldheim after a suspected business burglary had been reported early Wednesday (May 25) morning. At approximately 3 a.m. Wednesday, Deputy Doby approached an individual who he observed walking in the area, and when he got out of his unit the individual fired a weapon, striking the deputy. After being shot, the deputy was still able to assist in taking the subject into custody before the arrival of emergency medical personnel.
Best wishes for Deputy Kenneth Doby.
