A University of Wisconsin-Stout student was recently pulled over for speeding and what happened next was right in the spirit of giving someone a helping hand out of the kindness of their heart.
The young man was rushing to a presentation when he was pulled over by Officer Martin Folczyk of the Menomonie Police Department. The student was rushing down 8th Street at 8:55 a.m. on the morning of Nov. 30 which initiated the stop.
“I have to get a tie tied,” the driver said. “I have a presentation and I thought my buddy was home but he’s not, and I’m running behind.”
Before asking for his license and insurance, the officer asked the young man to see the tie.
“While I do this, why don’t you grab your proof of insurance and your driver’s license real quick,” Officer Folczyk said. “Probably not the best knot, but it will work.”
“Better than what I was going to do,” the student said. “Thank you so much.”
The student was given a verbal warning and sent on his way, looking pretty dapper if we say so ourselves.
Check out the video of this kind officers gesture.
