Brock Bevell is a retired Police Officer who was run over while on duty. The injuries caused Brock to endure numerous knee surgeries and constant rehabilitation. To deal with the pain, he was prescribed Opioids. After months of therapy, the department and doctors made the determination that his injuries would prevent him from doing the job effectively and could place others at risk and Brock was medically retired from the department.
