District Attorney Fran Chardo confers Medal of Valor to two Lower Swatara officers

Lower Swatara Township officers Timothy Shea and Joshua Malott received Dauphin County’s highest honor, the Medal of Valor, on Wednesday night.

Shea and Malott were called to a domestic dispute late on Oct. 14, 2019, on Bentley Lane, a trailer park off Vine Street near the Middletown Line, and were almost immediately met with gunfire, officials have said of the hours-long standoff. Lower Swatara Township chief Jeffrey Vargo said a woman was being held against her will and the officers were able to successfully rescue her.
