Rep. Melotik Honors Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Deputy Christian Almonte as a Hometown Hero
On Tuesday, November 14th, at the State Assembly floor session, State Representative Paul Melotik (R-Grafton) honored Christian Almonte, a Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Deputy and a resident of the 24th Assembly District as a hometown hero.
On January 26, 2022 Deputy Christian Almonte was shot in the line of duty while searching for a suspect from a traffic stop in the City of Milwaukee. Deputy Almonte was rushed to the hospital and was treated for multiple gunshot wounds. Miraculously, Christian was discharged and walked out of the hospital the very next day. Christian was met by a crowd of Sheriff’s Office officials, local police department officials, fellow officers and the general public to show support.
Rep. Melotik said “Deputy Almonte’s immediate and unselfish actions undoubtedly saved lives and prevented severe injuries from occurring to the public. Deputy Almonte’s quick response and selflessness, at a critical moment reflected the high standards of service that law enforcement officers aspire to uphold. Deputy Almonte displays great loyalty, commitment and professionalism in the performance of his duties and for this, I am honored to recognize Deputy Christian Almonte as our Hometown Hero”
