Instead Of Giving A Ticket, Officer Buys Car Seat For Girl

Instead of giving a young mother a ticket for not having her child in a car seat, a Michigan officer paid for a booster seat for the girl. His reasoning is pretty great.

Officer Ben Hall stopped young mother, Alexis DeLorenzo for not having her daughter in a car seat. After DeLorenzo explained to Hall that she couldn't afford one, the officer didn't give her a ticket and send her on her way...he told her to meet him at the nearby Walmart.

Officer Hall then used his own money to pay for a booster seat for DeLorenzo's five-year-old daughter.

Local reporters tracked down both DeLorenzon and Officer Hall. DeLorenzo says that it changed her life, and her and her daughter wouldn't forget him.

Officer Hall said, "A ticket doesn't solve the situation. What solves it is the child being in a booster seat like she should be." He said it was the easiest $50 he ever spent.
