WILLOUGHBY, Ohio — Saturday night, the Eagles Club in Willoughby was packed with people who love Maddie Orton. The 27-year-old Willowick Police Officer suffered a stroke about a month ago, two days before her wedding.
"Maddie is a bright young officer in Willowick,"she's an aspiring detective, a great investigator; she's only been with the department for about three years," said Greg Spakes, Detective, Willowick Police. "It's overwhelming to see the community support for us, the law enforcement community just not even locally here in Lake County, but just across the state, the fraternal order of police, the national lodge, the state lodge," said Spakes.
The community has Maddie's back as she gets stronger one day at a time because she's still got some big plans ahead.
