Winners of raffle benefit for deputies announced

MOSES LAKE - Winners were announced last week in The Grant County Sheriff's Office and Grant County Deputy Sheriff's Association raffle to benefit the families of two Spokane County deputies injured on June 19 in the line of duty.

Spokane deputies Matt Spink and Mike Northway pulled most of the winning raffle tickets at the drawing held at the Grant County Fairgrounds.
