Nearly a year after being saved by a Covington Police Officer, Jase Mitchell just celebrated his first birthday. Born prematurely, the then-four month-old baby stopped breathing last fall and Officer Matt Hugenberg was dispatched to Jase's home in Latonia. The officer determined that the child was not breathing and had no pulse so he commenced infant CPR and by the time the ambulance crew took baby Jase away, the baby was breathing on his own. For his heroism, Hugenberg was awarded the Northern Kentucky Police Chiefs Association Officer of the Year honors and was also recognized at City Hall.

Since the near tragedy, Jase has improved greatly and just celebrated his first birthday. Hugenberg also just celebrated a milestone: his eighteenth anniversary as a member of the Covington Police Department. Below, see photos of Jase from right after his birth to his recent birthday party.
