Wearing T-shirts that read: “Behind Bars” the officers competed in different weight classes to see who could bench press the most and raising $450 in the process.
The top female competitor was Deputy Rhonda Pratt who put up 135 pounds. The top male lifter was Corrections Officer Luke House who lifted 370 pounds, giving new meaning to the expression ‘getting sent to the big house.’
Organizer Deputy Richard Bradway said the group hopes this is just the beginning and wants to expand he competition to other law enforcement agencies.
