Good To Know: Sending Lures To Deputy Dewey

Reporting
Don Shelby
(WCCO) A week ago today, Mahnomen County Sheriff's Deputy Chris Dewey was shot and critically injured. He is struggling to recover, but talking to family and friends. Don Shelby said there is something special we all can do for Deputy Dewey.

When Chris Dewey was shot, there was little hope that he would survive. His wounds at the hands of two gunmen seemed mortal.

But, Chris fought back. He says fishing season is not far off, and he's a little low on fishing lures.

He likes to fish and it occurs to me that about a million of us have a tackle box with some lures we can spare. I'm going to give him some of mine.

Maybe you would part with a couple of yours. If you want to help Deputy Chris Dewey enjoy this coming fishing season, you can send a plug or drop bait, or a spinner, or buzzbait or cankbait, and a note to Chris, to:

"Lures"
WCCO-TV
90 South 11th Street
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55403

I'll deliver them to him myself, and put the whole thing on the news. But you better hurry. There's only a few months 'til ice-out.
