Our Hometown Hero of the week is Justin Vause, a policeman and medic from Selma!Justin was nominated by Rich who said: Justin is a highly dedicated and decorated K9 officer. He is also a medic at Johnston County EMS in his “down time”. He, together with his K9 partner Major, have been responsible for the seizure of countless supplies of drugs and contraband. He is a devoted husband and father of two daughters. Justin is a workhorse whose sole purpose is to make the citizens of Selma feel safe and to keep drugs out of the hands of the youth in the area. He is also a member of the US K9 Association and certifies other K9’s from throughout the country. This man exemplifies what it is to be an officer of the law and a public servant. I am proud to call him my friend.

Thank you, Justin, for your service! We’re sending you a gift card to Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q to thank you for all you do!
