INDIANAPOLIS An IMPD officer is getting recognition after a generous act for an east side resident.
IMPD East District posted about the kind gesture on its Facebook page. The department said an 81-year-old woman called to report someone had stolen a Red Radio Flyer Wagon from her shed. But it wasn t just any wagon. The woman used it to transport her groceries. The officer knew it was significant to her and her independence, so he took the report, but figured it was unlikely she d ever see the wagon again.
