This is the moment a kindhearted police officer helps a woman find a USD-100 note by the side of the road so that she can pay her bills.

The distraught woman was spotted by the cop – named as Stephen Farmer – desperately searching the roadside after the bill blew out of her car window.

Newsflash obtained the footage along with a statement from the Buckeye Police Department. The city of Buckeye is located in Maricopa County, in the western US state of Arizona.

The police said on Wednesday, 15th June: “Lending a helping hand is a big part of what we do.

“On May 1st, 2022, Officer Stephen Farmer spotted a woman searching for something very important on the side of the road, so he stopped to assist.”

The police added: “Buckeye Police Officer Stephen Farmer was patrolling near 231st Ave and MC 85 when he found a woman searching for a USD-100 bill that blew out of her car window.”
