There truly are some good people left in the world, and Chy-Niece Thacker from Henrico County, Virginia has the photos to prove it!
Thacker was out for a drive on Friday morning when she was pulled over by a Henrico County Police officer.
“As he walked to the car and I was pulling out my stuff, he quickly said, ‘Don’t worry about pulling anything out. I just want you to know that your brake lights are out,'” Thacker wrote on Facebook.
“He looked at me like ? and told me to pop the trunk. He checked the lights in the trunk and tapped them, but they didn’t come on. So he told me to pop the hood to check the relay box then asked me to get out to check the other one,” she said.
While Officer Jenkins was working on her car, Thacker pulled out her phone and started taking pictures.
Local CBS affiliate WTVR 6 News shared her story on Facebook,
“He could’ve easily given me a ticket, but Officer Jenkins stepped out of officer role and into mechanic role to make sure I was straight. #HesABlessing,” she wrote on Facebook. “I don’t want anyone slamming into the back of you,” she remembered him saying to her.
Thacker’s story quickly went viral with thousands of viewers sharing their support for Officer Jenkins.
