Burleson County sheriff’s office chief deputy John Pollock returned to work Monday, two weeks after he was shot in the jaw while serving an arrest warrant.

Pollock says his jaw is wired shut for another six weeks after his mandible was shattered.

He says going to the office on a part time basis is part of his recovery. And he says he is paying attention to his mental health; thanking his wife, children, and all those who have called and texted him.
