Officers Keith Bradshaw and Candace Spragins discovered a lady there who had taken food worth $36.
She returned the stolen food while crying and made an apology.
She acknowledged having three adoptive children and telling the police that she had no food for them. After receiving a serious head injury, the mother was unable to work for a while, and her children had gone three days without food.
When the authorities arrived at her house, they only discovered a slice of cheese in the refrigerator after opening it.
Unfortunately, the two cops had to bring a criminal complaint against the woman on the grounds of stealing.
However, they made a choice that astonished her mother knowing her story.
They went back to the shop and stocked a cart with food.
She claimed the food would sustain her for several weeks.
