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.
Lynching.
Nice story..........
I thought we could use some good content around Christmas.
So true. Police giving small gestures of helping those they protect and watching the news, there’s more good deeds out there keeping in the spirit of Christmas......giving to those less fortunate. Merry Christmas!
