Cheering and car honking along I-85

A red-letter day for Oconee County.  Sheriff’s personnel and other well-wishers lined I-85 early yesterday afternoon to welcome back Corp. Lucas Watts after 189 days in recovery at an Atlanta facility.  Jimmy Watt, public information officer, captured what the celebration looked like and sounded like as the escort for the wounded deputy sheriff crossed the Lake Hartwell bridge into Oconee County.
