SHOUT OUT: Garfield Police Officer Francisco Sanchez knew he didn’t have much time when he found a 5-year-old boy choking on a quarter Saturday afternoon.
“I pulled up and they are putting him into the car to take him to the hospital and I grab him,” Sanchez said. “I was going to do the Heimlich Maneuver, but he was already starting to go limp.
“So I sat him on my knee and I gave him four blows to his back and he started throwing up and the quarter popped out.”
