Police Officer Buys Man Food For Family
By: MetroSoruce News
(Undated) -- A police officer in Montana went out of his way to help a family in need last weekend.
According to the "Bozeman Daily Chronicle," officer Marek Ziegler purchased food for a man and his family just minutes after arresting him for shoplifting. Ziegler was called to a local supermarket last Friday after receiving a report of shoplifting. The 33-year-old encountered a man who had stuffed food, pens, and markers into his coat to give to his kids. The man told Ziegler he was forced to steal for his family after falling on hard times financially. Ziegler had to charge the man for the crime, but he decided to swing through a nearby Wal-Mart and purchase some groceries for the man's family. Ziegler remarks, quote, "Obviously, as a police officer, I have a job to do, but we're still human too."
