Deputy Jeffrey Mike

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Milwaukee County Sheriff's Deputy Jeffrey Mike is being hailed a hero after he resuscitated a seven-month-old choking baby on the hood of his squad on Tuesday evening, March 26th.

The deputy responded to a 911 call from a woman who was pulled over on the northbound on-ramp to I-43 at Layton Avenue. She was attempting CPR on her seven-month-old baby.

"I was shaking for about an hour after this happened, and every time I tell this story, I get all worked up," Deputy Mike said.

According to authorities, the mother heard the child choking, stopped her vehicle on the freeway on-ramp and got out to check on the baby in the back seat.  She was unsuccessful in removing milk and phlegm from the child’s mouth, attempted CPR and called 911 when she could not revive the baby.
