Polls were about to open at 6 a.m. in Lake Saint Louis Tuesday at Liberty High School in the Wentzville School District.

“According to Lake Saint Louis resident Kenny Nowling, he was speaking with a man in line when he suddenly collapsed,” the school district said.

That’s when the officer and his wife quickly jumped in and performed CPR on Nowling while someone went to find a defibrillator.

They found Liberty Assistant Principal Matt Kiesel, who was checking to ensure election officials had everything they needed before the doors opened.

Kiesel ran out with the defibrillator and helped shock Nowlilng with it and he slowly regained a pulse as paramedics arrived, the school district said.
