NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. — A football game will be held Friday in Callahan honoring Deputy Joshua Moyers.
The late Nassau County sheriff’s deputy was shot during a traffic stop in Callahan last month and died of his injuries two days later.
The sheriff’s office arrested her accused killer, Patrick McDowell, after a five-day manhunt. He faces premeditated first-degree murder and aggravated bodily injury to a police dog.

Law enforcement, K-9 officers, and the community are invited to share their love and support for Moyers and the Sheriff’s Office in keeping their small town safe.
