Brimfield Township Police Chief David Oliver comforted six-year-old Kashe Heffelfinger, who was overwhelmed by the notion of shopping without his mother during a holiday shopping spree at Kohl's.

The event, sponsored by Sarchione Chevrolet, gave 33 elementary students $200 to shop with a professional athlete and volunteer adults.

To further cheer up the boy, Chief Oliver offered a ride in his patrol car and a police station visit.

Kashe's mother did finally accompany him on the search for a robotic dinosaur.
