Police Buy Elderly Woman Food With Their Own Money

Police Buy Elderly Woman Food With Their Own Money
An officer used her own money to buy fresh water and groceries for a 92-year-old woman after a power outage left her without any.

Over the weekend, two officers went above and beyond their duty in response to a routine welfare call, and made one elderly woman and her family very grateful.

Upon arriving at the local 92-year-old's apartment, they noticed that all of the food in her fridge had gone bad, and that she had run out of drinking water, after the power had gone out.
