Women steals food from store, cop catches her.. guess what happens next * 5
    #19033172 - 10/25/13 09:05 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)



The woman on the left is a mother from Miami who was so desperate to feed her hungry family that she was trying to steal a lot of food.

The woman on the right is Miami-Dade County Police Officer Vicki Thomas. Officer Thomas was about to arrest Jessica Robles but changed her mind at the last minute.

Instead of arresting her, she bought Robles $100 worth of groceries:

“I made the decision to buy her some groceries because arresting her wasn't going to solve the problem with her children being hungry.”

And there’s no denying they were hungry. Robles’ 12 year old daughter started crying when she told local TV station WSVN about how dire their situation was:

“[It's] not fun to see my brother in the dirt hungry, asking for food, and we have to tell him, ‘There is nothing here.’"

Officer Thomas says she has no question that what she did was right:

“To see them go through the bags when we brought them in, it was like Christmas. That $100 to me was worth it.”

But Officer Thomas did have one request:

“The only thing I asked of her is, when she gets on her feet, that she help someone else out. And she said she would.”

And guess what? The story gets even better.

After word got out about what happened people donated another $700 for Jessica Robles to spend at the grocery store.

And then best of all a local business owner invited her in for an interview and ended up hiring her on the spot as a customer service rep.

She started crying when he told her:

“There's no words how grateful I am that you took your time and helped somebody out. Especially somebody like me.”

And to think it all started with one veteran police officer trusting her “instinct” instead of going “by the book”.

Need more stories like this one, awesome especially because it was a cop doing what they felt was right. But I can't help but think this lady is dumb. Do you know how many programs there are that give people food? Not just government programs but places like Salvation Army and all the various food banks. It is not necessary to steal food in America.

This story just about made me cry. it's beautiful to see someone going with their heart and helping out a person in need. She's a cop with a heart of gold.

I knew a girl that went to walmart and stole diapers and some mac and cheese. When she got caught they took here upstairs and the manager bought the stuff plus some tuna and sent her home with it. Its good to see stories  like this. When I first started out on my own me and the wife was hungary as fuck and finally went to the local food bank, now im doing good I make sure I donate when I can to that food bank. Everybody that can should, most that go to them are really embarrassed to be there and I know for a fact its a last resort. Btw, most will take homegrown veggies from a garden. We should all do our part.

This a cool story, but what does it have to do with the war on drugs, which is what this section is for?

Indeed. Not to downplay the emotional catharsis but this is not "newsworthy" for this particular section.

Although it has nothing to do with drugs I think people should read this so :shrug: I don't really mind if this news report stays here.



You know moving this would be doing things by the book sometimes you have to trust your "instincts" :wink:

I think its bullshit. Think mom wanted to be a clefto and had daughter trained to cover her ass. There are tons of ways to get free food if you are THAT poor. Even begging can get you more than you need. All this does is teach her stealing is right.

Agreed, originally I came into this thread thinking it was another story about how a woman stole a bag of oranges and then was tasered and shot by a police officer. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this time something more positive happened :biggrin:

So essentially a thief got a free 100$, a free 700$ and a job while there are millions of jobless law abiding citizens struggling to make ends meet. And they say that crime doesn't pay...
