Woman thanks HPD officer for helping save her life

A woman went to the Hopkinsville Police Department Monday morning to thank an officer who helped save her life last month.

Officer Andrew Hoffman received a call of a woman not breathing on June 11 and found Ruth Maxie unresponsive in the driver’s seat of her vehicle.

With the assistance of Maxie’s sister, they got her out of the car and Officer Hoffman began chest compressions until EMS arrived.

Maxie did survive and she took a photo Monday with Officer Hoffman that was posted on the HPD Facebook page.
