A Timely Warning

To the Editor:

I’d like to send a special thank you to one of Newtown’s police officers. I don’t even know his name, but his badge number is 058. It’s an unusual thank you.

He stopped my daughter-in-law several weeks ago, and gave her a ticket for failing to wear a seat belt. Thank God she learned her lesson. The past Friday, as she was driving to work, she was involved in a car accident. Because of officer 058, she was wearing her seat belt.

Our family will give thanks this holiday for this officer. Seat belts save families!
