Yesterday, SGT McCoy met a man by the name of Dan Williams,
age:57, sitting in front of Wendy’s in Horn Lake.

He was down on his luck and was hungry.

SGT McCoy walked him inside and offered to buy the man lunch.

The Wendy’s Management would not let the deputy pay,
because they covered Mr. Williams’ meal instead!

SGT McCoy sat down and ate lunch with Mr. Williams.

He found out that Mr. Williams had no money or phone
and has been catching rides from Ohio in an attempt to get down
to Monroe, Louisiana to be with family.

SGT McCoy could tell that Mr. Williams had a good heart and wanted to help him,
so he got with Deputies Brea, Garrett, and Andrews.

They all pulled money out of their own pockets and pitched in to buy Mr. Williams
an $89.00 Greyhound bus ticket to get home, along with an additional $60.00
for some food and necessities.

SGT McCoy later said that Mr. Williams broke down and cried
as he was dropping him off
at the bus station in Memphis, TN.

Mr. Williams looked over to SGT McCoy and told him,
“Out of all of the people that reached out to help me
in my time of need, it was the cops. Thank you!!”

This is not a one time incident….

These random acts of kindness happen everyday across this county
and our nation with law enforcement officers reaching out to help those in need,
but most of these good deeds go unnoticed because that’s our job
and that’s what we do. We are proud to protect and serve you!
