On Saturday, trying to do the right thing led to Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas being put in handcuffs and briefly detained.
A statement from Jackson's office said he was attending the rodeo when he was "Summoned by someone in the crowd to assist a 15-year-old girl who was having a medical emergency nearby."
The statement noted said Jackson was "in the stands during the entire rodeo, in full view of the assembled crowd, and was not drinking.
Sheriff Tam Terry said in a statement a person was "temporarily detained" but did not identify Jackson.
In a Facebook post in which she referred to Jackson as "ER DR", Linda Dianne Shouse gave her summation of the incident.
"Debbie Bonds, Jamie Ots Turney, and myself would like to personally Thank Dr Ronny Jackson for his act of kindness and assistance in taking care of our 15 year old at the White Deer Rodeo! Us Healthcare Professionals worked very well together communicating during this medical crisis that occured! Again thank you so very much for being where you were needed with your Healthcare Professionalism!" she wrote.
Shouse said once police realized who Jackson was, he was released.
