Deputies save 10-month-old from near drowning in Florida KTRK Deputies say when they arrived to the scene, the baby had no pulse. "What I needed to know was, am I going to be able to remember my training?" Sarasota Sheriff Deputy Michael Nickerson said. He was the first officer to arrive to the scene. He said the child's mother had pulled the baby out of the pool and they were both in the driveway. The second deputy, Tony Egoville, arrived shortly after. Both deputies immediately started CPR, the longest either of them had ever performed it. The 10-month-old eventually regained consciousness and was intubated in the hospital for more than a week.
