NEW YORK - A traffic stop on Long Island had a happy outcome for a man who couldn't afford a proper car seat for his son.
Suffolk County Police Officer Pete Zotos pulled over the man in Selden last week for having an expired inspection sticker. When he took a look inside the vehicle, he noticed the two-year-old boy did not fit in his car seat, according to police.
The father explained to Officer Zotos that money was tight. Zotos then drove to a Walmart in Centereach where he purchased a new seat for the boy, even, installing it for him.
