A police officer’s job isn’t easy, and an officer of the law will usually have to make an arrest at some point in time. A cop by the name of Kenneth Martin had to arrest a man for shoplifting, but the kind deed he did afterward made him employee of the month.

Officer Martin, who started working for the Fort Smith Police Department in Arkansas in 2015, had been shopping in Fort Smith one day, during the month of November in 2019. While he was there, he was contacted and informed that a man and a woman were there with their children, and they were attempting to shoplift groceries, and reported here at Newsweek.

The cop arrested the man, but not his wife. Before Officer Martin left the store, he paid for the food the couple tried to steal, and he handed it over to the woman, explaining that he took care of the payment for the groceries. He advised her to ask for help if she needed help.

This kind police officer also let the officials know that he wanted the children of the man taken into custody to not be without food. Officer Kenneth Martin’s heart was in the right place.

A kind deed like this should not go unnoticed, so please let this story be known.
