TARRANT, Alabama -- A woman caught shoplifting eggs in Tarrant Saturday didn't leave with handcuffs and a court date. Thanks to a Tarrant police officer, she left with food for her family.
Officer William Stacy was called to the Dollar General on Pinson Valley Parkway when employees caught the woman trying to steal a dozen eggs, Tarrant Police Chief Dennis Reno said.
The woman had her young children in the car. She told Officer Stacy that she was only stealing because she was trying to feed her children.
Stacy talked with Dollar General, and they said they wouldn't prosecute. So Stacy made an offer.

Katrina was in 2005.
I even hosted a fundraiser for you, against the mods wishes, JR approved it and let it go on, do you not remember?
And you’re saying I never thanked you, is that it?
No, I am saying you are a leach! Every 3 or 4 months you have a pray for me thread, how much do you make off of that?
Every dollar of her own that she doesn't have to spend on necessities is a dollar more for her to spend on drugs and alcohol for herself and the fathers of her children.
Please show me my “pray for me threads” bud. Aren’t you thinking of many years ago when we were in real trouble? You’ve never been down & out? I’m glad for you.
They could also be used at a protest to lob at cars:)
“Many parents will do almost anything to make sure their children continue to thrive.”
I know a gal from Vietnam. Her dad was taken by the government and sent away for many years. (He left for work one day, and they didn’t hear anything about him for a year - didn’t know if he was dead, in a camp, etc.)
Her brothers worked the fields, and she and her mom and the baby sister would beg. She said she was always jealous of her brothers that would get two balls of rice a day to her one (they had to keep up their energy to work).
The mother would get whatever was left over. Which unfortunately wasn’t enough to keep breastfeeding the baby - which died. So much for the utopia that Communism provides and the liberals were wishing on Vietnam.
I am glad you know that as a fact!
Stacy talked with Dollar General, and they said they wouldn't prosecute. So Stacy made an offer."He said, 'If I give you these eggs, will you promise that you won't shoplift anymore?'" Reno said. "He knew that she was telling the truth and that's the reason he went in and bought the eggs."
Stacy bought the eggs and gave them to her, Reno said. The woman then asked if she could give him a hug.
You had many, you disgust me, 2nd div infantry my ass. Kiss it on your way out.
Whatever.
I tried to help you, thought you were genuine, you are nothing but a grafter, live well.
Sorry to interject reality into this PC-Fest, but barely more than half is not "Most..."
For the other half?
Kill? Yes.
Die? No.
You can throw them at cop cars.
Sometimes you’ve just got to give people the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully she won’t shoplift again but he did what he thought was the right thing to do.
Well, that would’ve been on the other extreme. This is a matter of rewarding bad behavior, not good to go there.
