EVESHAM TWP. -- A township police officer is being honored by his department for not only saving three lives on three separate shifts last month, but helping capture a suspect on attempted homicide charges following one of those incidents.

Evesham Township police officer Brian Strockbine

Officer Brian Strockbine, a member of the Evesham Police Department for the past 11 years, has been named March's officer of the month as a result of his efforts that took place across 10 days.

"Ofc. Strockbine is being commended for his relentless efforts in protecting lives and contributing in the arrest of an attempted murder suspect," Evesham police said Wednesday.

So just how did Strockbine earn these accolades?

It began on March 8 when he responded to a Condord Road residence for a report of a woman on the front lawn who appeared to be dead. Strockbine found the woman, who did not have a pulse and was not breathing, and began CPR.

"After approximately three minutes of performing CPR, the victim opened her eyes and began breathing," police said.

After the victim regained consciousness, she reportedly provided information to police that resulted in her 78-year-old husband being arrested on first-degree criminal attempt homicide, second-degree aggravated assault and third-degree evidence tampering.

John R. Teti, of Barrington, was sent to the Burlington County Jail in lieu of $350,000 bail, according to previous reports. Authorities believe the victim was assaulted prior to being discovered in her front yard.

On March 12, Strockbine was the first to respond to the scene of a motor vehicle crash near Route 73 and Centre Boulevard. Police said the vehicle involved was "filled with smoke and about to catch fire."

"Officer Strockbine broke the passenger's side window and carried the victim to safety," police said, adding that the motorist -- who was later hospitalized and recovered from his injuries -- was unconscious and having a diabetic attack.

Finally, on March 17, Strockbine responded to Knox Boulevard for a report of a woman there who wasn't breathing.

"Officer Strockbine immediately began CPR on the victim where she eventually was able to stabilized due to the life-saving efforts," police said.
