Three TSA workers at the Presque Isle airport are credited with saving the life of a sanitation worker who collapsed in the parking lot earlier this month.

The TSA says officers Dan Marquis, Tyler Raymond and Michelle Morrison leapt into action after another sanitation worker alerted them to the emergency.

The three called 911 while performing CPR and using a defibrillator. All three officers are CPR-certified.

Officers believed the man, identified as Joe Levesque, may have suffered a heart attack or stroke.

Emergency crews arrived and took over.

Raymond said Levesque was making a full recovery.
