Video Shows Officer Helping UW-Stout Student with Necktie During Traffic Stop

A University of Wisconsin-Stout student who was in a hurry to get to an important class presentation got some help with a necktie instead of ticket from a Menomonie police officer who stopped to talk to him about his speeding.

A video posted on the police department's Facebook page Tuesday shows officer Martin Folczyk pulling his squad car behind Trevor Keeney's car in a parking lot Nov. 30. When the two get out of their vehicles, Folczyk tells Keeney he stopped him for his speed going down Eighth Street.

Keeney, sounding rushed, explains that he was in a hurry because he couldn't tie a necktie and stopped by a friend's house for help, but the friend wasn't home. Folczyk then asked Keeney for the tie and began tying it while Keeney looked for his driver's license and insurance information.

After checking Keeney's ID and paperwork, Folczyk took back the tie to make it a little shorter and then sent Keeney on his way with a warning to watch his speed. Keeney told ABC News he went on to get a 92 percent on his presentation for an outside sales class.

The police chief later invited Keeney to the station for a lesson in the art of tying a necktie.

"I went back and met with him for about 30 minutes and he taught me! It was cool," Keeney told ABC News.

A simple case of a bad necktie? Or...a case of necklacing?

A certain irony in an inability to tie a tie or manage time by college years? I had to wear a tie every day since the 3rd grade. Then every day at work until the mid 90’s.

I would still be wearing a tie except I have to wear arc flash clothing in my line of work.

Sloppy neck ties matter.

The kid was white so it doesn’t count. And if he’d been black it would just be patronizing so it wouldn’t count.

“I had to wear a tie every day since the 3rd grade.”

Clip-ons don’t count.

I used to keep a tied neck tie on a hanger for special occasions.

I guess nobody here enjoys a feel-good story at Christmas.

This policeman, I believe, is representative of the vast majority of LEOs. Great story.

As little boys in the 50’s, we wore clip on bow ties to church. My dad would make a huge production out of it pushing it into our necks, and working with it. Then done. One day I tried to put one on myself, and there was nothing to it. Dad lost his bow tie job. LOL

No clip-ons. Maybe now in college?

I collect old text books. I have a fourth grade reader from the year nineteen hundred and eleven. It is what today is considered college age literature. Talk about being dumbed down?

Wonder if the cop would have helped a skinny person?
