The two children of fallen Colleton County Deputy Dennis Compton each will receive $25,000 bonds from the state today.
Mark Keel, director of the state Department of Public Safety will present the bonds to Compton's two biological children at 10 a.m. at the Colleton County Sheriff's Office. Compton's two children reside in Virginia with their mother. He also helped raise two step-children that treated him like a father, family members said.
Compton was killed in the line of duty on Aug. 6 while responding to a tripped burglar alarm at 699 Sunflower Drive in Smoaks, located about 20 miles north of Walterboro.
