A message from the Wilt Family:

Update on LMPD Officer Nick Wilt, July 14th, 2025
Nick has come a long way, but he will continue to heal for the rest of his life. Nick continues his recovery, although progress is slow, he is always dedicated to his continued therapy at UofL Health - Frazier Rehabilitation Institute and in-home brain games.

In early 2024, Nick has been walking independently with the assistance of a cane. By around September, he rarely needed the cane. He will still move carefully, as his left leg is weaker, but it’s a huge milestone for him to be walking at all.
Due to his injury, he has what doctors call “left side neglect.” Meaning, at times, he doesn’t know there is a whole world on his left side. His left arm/hand still has minimal function despite electrode therapy daily, and PT/OT are working on it twice a week. He has gained a fair amount of strength in retracting his arm, but pushing/extending it is still challenging. He is required to wear a brace at night to help keep his left fist open and fingers separated.
Doctors are still working on managing ongoing complications such as seizures, nerve damage, and near-daily intense headaches. Nick requires daily assistance with activities and other daily tasks, but has improved in many areas. Cognitively, we’ve seen improvements here, too, and arguably funnier than he was before his injury. He will sometimes need assistance making decisions for himself, holding conversations, and will elaborate on details when “queued” to do so. We call these leaving breadcrumbs, something that will help him in conversations.

All things considered, Nick is a walking miracle and continues to love life and everyone. He’s eager to continue healing so he can return to his everyday life. He looks forward to living back in his own house and getting on with his life. He loves counting his daily steps from his smart watch and sharing them with friends at the fire department. Yes, he will often beat me in my step count.
Nick is doing more than ever imagined and still surprises the therapist and doctors nearly every session. We all continue to pray for health, happiness, safety, and continued healing. All of which have been continuously answered, and to this day, we still see miracles happen. Something we wish the world could see. Nick is strong-willed and, as we’ve said since day 1, He. Never. Backs.
Down.

Good morning ☀️ Every criminal illegal alien must be DEPORTED — it’s the only way to MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN! 🇺🇸

Invest 93L latest (as of 8:00 AM EDT). Formation chance low... 30%. Up to a moderate risk of excessive rain today.

Instead of covering the heroic work ICEgov is doing to remove dangerous criminal illegal aliens from our communities, Mother Jones is trying to paint a sob story for rioters at courthouses—many of whom have assaulted law enforcement.

These vile smears from the FAKE NEWS have led to an 830% increase in assaults against ICE officers.

NEW: CNN's Harry Enten "SURPRISED" Trump's approval among GOP has *RISEN* amid Epstein backlash🚀

"Republicans who approve of Trump — look at our CNN poll. The prior one: 86%. The one out this week: 88% with Republicans."

"How about Quinnipiac? The prior poll: 87% approval for Republicans. This week out: 90% with Republicans!"

"If anything, Donald Trump's approval rating has gone up since this whole Epstein saga started. He is at the apex or close in terms of his popularity with Republican voters."

It is with heavy hearts that the Newton Police Department, NJ, mourns the passing of Shannon Thonus, following her courageous battle with cancer.

Shannon was more than a dedicated professional; she was a friend, a mentor, and a respected member of our law enforcement community. Before her time with the Sussex County Sheriff's Office, Shannon proudly served as a Telecommunicator with the Newton Police Department and will forever be a part of our family. Her compassion, positive attitude, and relentless zest for living left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of working with her.

We extend our deepest condolences to Shannon’s husband Jim, their two children, and the entire Thonus and Quinn families. Please join us in keeping Shannon’s loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace.🙏🏻
