An Oakwood police officer was honored Monday night for his heroics in rescuing a wheelchair-bound man from a burning house June 19. Oakwood City Council passed a proclamation honoring Cpl. Jason Crowder for his “selfless act of heroism,” saying he acted “without regard to his personal safety and without donning any protective equipment.” Crowder, dressed in his police uniform, posed for pictures with Mayor Lamar Scroggs as he was presented a plaque.
