GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - A Dixie County sheriff’s deputy is home healing after a shootout this month, and members of the Florida Deputy Sheriffs Association are raising money to help him.

Association members are selling “Pope Strong” shirts to support Deputy Cody Pope. He was seriously injured during the shootout at Old Town Tavern on October 11.

Even though Deputy Pope is no longer hospitalized, officials say he has a long road to recovery.
