ASHLAND, Ala. – A deputy whose hand was chopped off by a suspect wielding a bush ax had it reattached in two operations, while the background of his attacker — a minister who was fatally shot in the confrontation — left those who knew him perplexed.
Sgt. Jason Freeman, whose hand was severed Friday, underwent surgery in Birmingham and had a pulse in all five digits of the reattached hand, Sheriff's Capt. Steve Cotney said.
"He is doing well, but a long-term prognosis is undetermined," a statement from the Clay County sheriff's office said late Monday. The office did not immediately return a call Tuesday.
The Rev. Curtis Watts, who was shot and killed by a law officer after Freeman was attacked, was described in an obituary released by a funeral home as a longtime minister who started a church and sang gospel music with his family.
