Nearly 14 months after being shot three times while trying to serve a warrant, Simpson County Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Eddie Lawson returned to work Monday.
Lawson, a 25-year law enforcement veteran who has worked long enough to retire, said he isn’t ready to turn in his badge.
Lawson has been on medical leave since being shot March 10, 2016.
Just after 3 p.m. that day, as Lawson was attempting to serve a warrant on a Franklin man, he was shot three times with a .45-caliber handgun. One bullet ripped through his right femur, another through his right hip and a third grazed his left foot. After two surgeries including a bone graft and almost 14 months of recovery, Lawson’s physician cleared him to return to duty.
