We are known to say a silent prayer before our officers and aides begin their tour of duty each day asking for divine protection for them. Our prayers were answered today when Motor Officer Scott Hutton was struck while riding his motorcycle at Pine Street and Missouri Avenue. A car pulled out in front of Officer Hutton and collided at the intersection throwing the officer off his motorcycle.
He was transported to Lakeland Regional Medical Center for evaluation. We expect he will be treated and released later today, sore all over but glad to be alive.
We never doubt the power of prayer...

Awful to hear that it happened, but very glad to hear he's ok. Many prayers go out to all of LPD.
