Tami Metz of the American Red Cross draws blood from Mercer County Sheriff's Deputy Dan Adams during Tuesday's Battle of the Badges at the sheriff's office. The first-time event pitted law enforcement officers and firefighters in a race to see which group could donate the most blood. Headed by chief deputy Gery Thobe, the battle resulted in the collection of 47 units with law enforcement contributing 33 units.
