Police Chief Surprises Shoplifter In Need With Special Thanksgiving!

“I found the woman, and as I was talking to her, I told her you can’t go back in there, you know, you stole some food, and they don’t want you back in there,” said Kelly in the above clip as he spoke with News 9. “She started crying and that made me tear up.”

“After I gave her the trespass warning, I thought to myself the only right thing to do is feed her,” said Kelly. “That’s the only human thing to do.”

And that’s what he did. He went back to the store and bought a full Thanksgiving dinner for the mother and her children.

“She just couldn’t stop crying,” said Kelly. “You know, and then, made me cry. Which I’m supposed to be a tough cop and all, but it just gets you.”

“There’s always somebody that needs help, that’s less fortunate than you,” said the police chief. “And by gosh, we’re going to help them.”
