    Emergency Department Handles Retired Sergeant With Care

    A retired Chillicothe Police Department sergeant, John Valbracht enjoys restoring old vehicles. But when John, 70, was alone working on an old trailer, a routine task turned dangerous.  

    "It was a nice day, and my goal was to put a new tongue and fuel tank on this trailer, but when the tongue broke off in my hand, it changed my plans," John says.  

    John was unloading an old trailer he’d hauled home on another trailer when the weight shifted unexpectedly at the top of the ramp.
