When disabled Alabama grandmom Helen Johnson's family had gone without food for two days, she decided to use her last $1.25 to buy a box of eggs to see them through. There are two toddlers under three in her household and with her disability cheque not arrived and her daughter's welfare cheque lost in the post, there was no relief in sight.
Helen went to the store and found herself 50 cents short of the asking price. So she stole five eggs in desperation, for her six-person household. She was such a bad thief, she says, she broke the eggs putting them in her pocket. And was caught, and had to face the heavy hand of the law.
Only in this case the law turned out to be Tarrant police officer William Stacy, who checked out her story, spoke to the store manager, and then bought Helen a box of eggs. When he handed them over instead of arresting her, she burst into tears and hugged him. Helen was very apologetic and the store has decided not to press charges.
An onlooker caught the moment on video, and as the story has spread, it's worked some good too. Police Chief Denis Reno said:
"A guy called me from New York and just broke down. He said for two months he's been angry with police, and he said this has totally changed his mind."
Video at the link. He's a nice guy.
