Cpl. Mark Weaver, Deputy with the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office, recounts the harrowing events of the day.
As a 33-year veteran of the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office, Cpl. Mark Weaver knows a thing or two about law enforcement. A long-time K-9 deputy, since 9/11 his duties have included game day security at Bryant-Denny Stadium where he would walk with the team during the Walk of Champions before allowing his bomb-sniffing dog to sweep the grounds and ensure that the 101,000+ people inside would remain safe.
He loves the game of football, volunteering as a coach at Hillcrest High where he counts current Tide LB Keith Holcombe among those he has had the opportunity to mentor.
