Rosenstein lauds deputy U.S. marshals for saving woman's life

Two off-duty deputy U.S. marshals recently saved a woman's life in Chicago after she overdosed on the deadly drug fentanyl, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said in a speech Thursday.

Rosenstein lauded the two deputy marshals and members of his security detail - Tony Manson and Chris Carson - as "heroes." He said they arrived in the city ahead of his appearance at a conference at The Ritz-Carlton Chicago.

"Those deputies were not on duty at the time," Rosenstein said. "But their actions demonstrate a really important point about police throughout the country. If you are in law enforcement, your job is to protect and serve - you're never really off duty."

Rosenstein included the anecdote in a speech to the International Association of Defense Counsel's 2018 Corporate Counsel College.

Rosenstein said the marshals discovered the woman "a few days ago" after leaving a hotel gym. He did not specifically say the incident occurred at the Ritz-Carlton, and Chicago police and fire officials were not immediately able to provide further details.
