Lloyd Prescott has been selected to receive the National Sheriff's Association’s 1995 Deputy Sheriff of the Year Award. The Salt Lake County sheriff's lieutenant was chosen for saving the lives of nine hostages in March 1994. A deranged man armed with a handgun and bomb entered Salt Lake City library, jumpedon a table and shouted demands. Dressedin plain clothes, Prescott hurried to the library from his next-door office and became one of the hostages. During the next five hours, Prescott allowed negotiators to try talking the man into surrendering. When the gunman ordered one hostageto cut a string into different lengths to use for his selection of who would die first, Prescott shouted for everyoneto hit the floor. The gunman aimed his gun at Prescott. But Prescott fired his weapon five times, striking the manin the chest, wrist and leg. He later died.
