HAINESPORT TOWNSHIP, N.J. (CBS) -- A New Jersey state trooper went above and beyond to help out a couple in need. The whole exchange was caught on camera.
Trooper Sean Wallace purchased a rotisserie chicken for a man and his wife who were hungry. The trooper responded to the scene in Hainesport on Saturday night.
Trooper Buys Meal for Man Down on His Luck
Trooper Sean Wallace has less than two years on the job, but he handled this situation like a 20-year veteran with a heart of gold.
On Saturday, October 1, at 9:30 p.m., Tpr. Wallace was dispatched to a food store in Hainesport Township for a suspicious person complaint. When he arrived, he talked with the manger who told him that a man was soliciting his customers for money in front of his store. He explained to the trooper that he had already told the man to leave the property earlier in the day.
Now, understandably a business has a right to protect its customers from unwanted solicitation. And Tpr. Wallace's only obligation was to advise the man not to solicit on the premises. But instead, Tpr. Wallace went beyond the call of duty to help out a man and his wife who are down on their luck.
We couldn't be prouder of this young trooper! Some things you just can't teach in the academy...
