WINTER HAVEN – State Attorney Jerry Hill and two of our prosecutors were honored Thursday, Sept. 22, at the MADD Polk County Law Enforcement and Prosecutors Recognition Dinner.

Felony Attorneys Melissa Gravitt and Stephanie Durrance were awarded for their work prosecuting DUI cases, and Mr. Hill was given a special award for his dedication to DUI cases and the victims of impaired driving over the past 32 years.

“I’m honored to get the award,” Hill said, “but the people who truly deserve recognition are the ones wearing uniforms and the prosecutors and investigator who were sitting at the State Attorney’s table.”

“It really thrills me when they get the recognition they deserve and so seldom get,” he said.
