Police officer honored after paying for shoplifters’ groceries

Police Badge
An officer in the City of Fort Smith, Arkansas, was handed an Employee of the Month award after he helped a family who allegedly tried to steal groceries.
Officer Kenneth Martin was with a training officer at a Walmart on Nov. 30 when he detained a mother and father who got caught attempting to steal groceries with their kids.
The father was arrested, but the mother was let go because she was with their two kids. Officer Martin ended up paying for the stolen food items.

Fort Smith City Director Neal Martin said ” FTO Martin is a wonderful example of what we all strive for,”…” Thank you FTO Martin for setting the example for each and every one of us! Let’s use his example of kindness to treat each other better in 2020.

Happy New Year! Please help us congratulate our January Employee of the Month, FTO Kenneth Martin!
