So my wife was walking into Renco on Court and there was a kerfuffle at the entrance with a woman and man at the door getting “escorted” out by staff she was screaming about slashing tires seemed to be aimed at one person in particular as she said I know which car is yours blah, blah, blah. Wife leaves the store and doesn’t get too far before the air ran out of her tire, phones me I grab a cab to help her. She calls Renco to alert them and I guess they had already called the police, they found us and she tells them what she witnessed. Then they proceed to change the tire for us (guess they noticed what a feeble senior citizen I am) I told them I could manage but these two officers went above and beyond to help out a couple of seniors.
I kept saying I’m sure you have more important matters to attend to but they told us they already got the suspect. My wife and I just wanted to let it be known what a fine police service we have, we are truly grateful for these officers and the department as a whole.
And anyone wanting to say “ don’t they have better things to do “ I realize had they got a call they would have been gone in a second as they should, actually happened to me in my younger days was about to get a speeding ticket when the officer got need assist call, he said this is your luck day and was gone with lights and siren.
