The two of them have only been paired together for a short amount of time but have been able to build a great bond and as a result captured wanted suspect doing a traffic stop. Officer Severtson is the second officer we celebrated. She responded to an assisted living facility and saved a patient’s life who was choking on food. Severtson used her personal “LifeVac” device to save the person’s life. Her quick thinking & actions saved the patient’s life. We gave them each $500 worth of gift cards and a thank you card from our Beaver family. --- Featured Recipients Beaver Toyota of Cumming has been honored to participate in many Surprise Squad stories alongside Atlanta News First, including: • Kevin Williams (Cherokee County, Aug 2023) • Frank Barker (Jul 2023) • Tricia Bishop (Jun 2023) • Kathy Cain (Jun 2023) • Lora Anderson (Apr 2023) • Wendy Simmons (Apr 2023) • Sharia King (Jan 2023) • Keema Carson (Jan 2024) • Parker Grelicki (Feb 2024) • Nancy Pagan (Dec 2024) • New Hope Elementary teachers — wheelchair-accessible van for a grandmother (Jun 2023) • Alessandra Miller / "All For Lunch" — school lunch debt nonprofit (Mar 2023) • Single mother whose vehicle was totaled — gifted reliable transportation (Dec 2022)
