A Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office deputy went in for some routine healthcare and got a huge shock.  K-9 Deputy Nick Robinson found out that he was going to have heart surgery, something he was not expecting to hear.

Chattooga County Sheriff Mark Schrader told WZQZ News this week, “Nick found out last week, after some very minor health issues, that he has a cardiac issue that will require open heart surgery to bypass”.

Nick’s coworkers at the sheriff’s office have organized a fundraiser to help cover medical expenses.  A BBQ plate fundraiser will be held on March 28 from 11 AM – 2 PM at the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office on Underwood Drive in Trion.
