When I got home, I sat on the couch in my house all by myself. I made phone calls to family and friends. It was a rainy afternoon and I sat on the back porch watching it rain and still trying to comprehend what happened. Around 6:00 PM, I walked into the house and sat down and turned on the television to see this!!!!
Manatee County Deputy DUI
What had seemed like a dream in some way, just became reality. " I would've stayed home" I remember when I said those words staring and Dale and Franzyk, I was choking back tears. My phone went off as I sat there and I saw it was someone from work. I ignored the call and turned the television off. I walked out the front door and took off walking down the road in the rain. I walked about 3 miles and was back at the house about an hour later, and I was soaked. I changed clothes and went and sat in Sydney's room in the floor just staring at her stuff. I just lowered my head and started crying. I yelled at God so loud my throat hurt. I blamed him for this, as I felt he had turned his back on me after I asked him to help me for so long. Now I can only picture God looking down at me and saying " My child you asked for my help, and I answered your prayer" Sometimes your prayers are answered, just not in the way that you would like. It took me 3 1/2 years to realize that my prayers were answered. I just had to finally give up to realize it.

About Me
- Jason Fitzwater
- I began my career in law enforcement in 2000 as a Deputy Sheriff for the Manatee County Sheriff's office. In August 2007 I was on top of my career and things on the outside looked perfect. Little known to everyone on the inside things were dark, miserable, and cold. Everyone thought I had the perfect life, but in reality I lived life with a fake smile. Follow as I tell you what it was like to be a Detective one minute, and under arrest the next. In this book I tell you how I dealt with the pressure of the job, and the struggles of the personal life. See how my life fell to pieces from 2007 to 2009 and how alcohol controlled my life. Learn how I dealt with these matters during that time. Understand when I did finally get back into a uniform as a cop I quickly learned that my past would never leave me no matter what I did. Grasp the reason why I walked away from the only thing that I knew after ten years. Become amazed as I stepped out off the cliff and into the unknown and surrendered my life to the Lord. I hope you understand after reading my story that life isn't coincidence. Instead that merely LIFE HAPPENS and when it does happen there is a reason for the situation.
