Two New York police officers helped a homeless man after they were called to arrest him for shoplifting.
Officers Christopher Cartwright and Jason Velez of the Mount Vernon Police Department, in Westchester County were called to a Dollar Tree for a possible shoplifting. When the Officers arrived, they found the man still inside the store. After speaking with him, they realized he was homeless and was just looking for socks. "I'll buy you a couple pairs of socks, but you gotta stop stealing," the officers told the man.
Officer Cartwright bought $15 worth of socks the man admitted he was trying to steal. "See what you get when you're honest."
