Reader-submitted: I want to give a shoutout to Lakewood Police Officer Anthony Caraballo for going above and beyond his call of duty today.
This morning, a vehicle stalled on Kennedy Boulevard. The driver, a woman, was really nervous about it, but when officer Caraballo arrived on scene, he immediately began calming her down.
It was determined by Chaveirim that the vehicle’s alternator was shot, and a battery pack was placed on the car battery to keep the engine running so the vehicle could be brought to the shop around the corner.
Seeing how nervous the woman was, Officer Caraballo walked alongside the vehicle to the shop. But it didn’t stop there. The officer even went inside the shop with her to make sure she got what she needed, and only then cleared the scene.
Thank you Officer Caraballo.
