On December 9, Davyon Johnson performed the Heimlich maneuver on a classmate who was choking, according to a Facebook post by the school district. Latricia Dawkins, the principal at Davyon’s school in Oklahoma, told the Enid News that a student was removing the cap from their water bottle to fill it up when the cap got stuck in their throat. Davyon happened to be nearby and saw the student choking and performed the Heimlich maneuver, which dislodged the cap, saving the student, Dawkins said. Later that evening, he saw a woman’s house on fire and helped her off her porch to get to her vehicle, ABC6 reports.
Thanks to his great work, the Muskogee Police Department, Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office, and school board recognized Davyon for his actions. Not only did the police department present him with an honorary officer certificate, the sheriff’s department also denoted him an honorary deputy. On top of that, the school board presented him with the heroism award.
“He has always indicated that he wants to be an EMT,” Dawkins told the newspaper. “So he got to put that desire into action and immediately saved that young man.”
