Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper shares emotional story in 1-on-1 sitdown with Joy Purdy

Bill Leeper has dedicated his nearly 50 years in law enforcement to helping keep Northeast Florida safe.  In a 1-on-1 sitdown with anchor Joy Purdy, Leeper was asked about any specific highway crashes that he’ll always remember. He immediately told us about a time he was off-duty when a woman lost control on Interstate 95 and died after driving off the overpass at Pecan Park Road. The victim was a woman Leeper had known since she was a little girl, so he later visited her home to give his condolences to the woman’s mother.
