HARRISON – Sheriff John Wilson issued a call Tuesday, July 26 on Facebook for people to pray for Deputy Nicole Shuff. A volunteer member of the Mounted Division, Shuff was severely injured the evening of Monday, July 25 while working at the Clare County Fair.

“Pray for HER, her Family and Doctors that GOD guides them, comforts them, and HEALS Nicole. Pray to help us all be strong.” – Sheriff John Wilson

While Mounted Division members rarely if ever get down from their horses, being a physician’s assistant for an orthopedic surgery practice, Shuff instinctively acted to help a fairgoer who had fallen from a ramp and was injured. An eyewitness told the Cleaver that the deputy was in the process of dismounting her horse when it reared and then fell on top of her.

Shuff was transported by Mobile Medical Response ambulance for emergency care of her life-threatening injuries.

No further information was available at  press time.
