This story originally appeared at American Web Media<\/a>.<\/span>Drivers are usually loathe to see flashing police lights behind them, but one Michigan driver was stunned when a routine stop led to an incredible act of kindness. \u201cWhen he hit the lights, I did what probably everybody would do,\u201d LaVonte Dell said, recalling how his heart immediately dropped into his stomach. Dell correctly suspected the officer may have flagged with his tinted windows.<\/span>But when the cop saw Dell\u2019s three-year-old daughter in the backseat, the situation really took an unexpected turn.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cI asked him why is she back there without a car seat. It\u2019s not safe,\u201d the officer, Joshua Scaglione, told WXYZ. \u201cHe teared up a little bit and told me he was going through some tough times.\u201d<\/span>Scaglione instantly asked Dell to get out of the car, which caused the driver to fear the worst. However, the officer had already decided on the appropriate course of action. And, surprisingly, he just wanted to talk.<\/span>\u201cI related to the fact that I\u2019ve been in that situation before,\u201d Scaglione said. \u201cI realized this was the perfect opportunity to help him,\u201d he added, describing Dell as a \u201cblue-collar hard-working guy who was doing the best he could for his family.\u201d<\/span>Instead of writing Dell a ticket, the pair instead drove to Walmart, where Scaglione purchased a car seat. \u201cYou would have thought we were best friends,\u201d Dell recalled of this unlikely couple\u2019s trip around the store. \u201cNo awkward silence. I learned about him. He learned about me.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>Afterwards, Dell realized he\u2019d never asked for the officer\u2019s name. So he posted this unlikely encounter to Facebook, where it quickly went viral. \u201cI feel like he should get the recognition. Everyone should know what he did,\u201d the Michigan father explained, noting how this unexpected encounter has changed the way he views police. Don\u2019t \u201cjudge a book by its cover,\u201d he said.<\/span>Others cheered Scaglione for going above and beyond the call of duty.<\/span>\u201cThank you to the officer for making sure that little girl was safe and treating her father as a human being,\u201d one reader commented online. \u201cSometimes you just don\u2019t have the extra money you need for something you need in life,\u201d<\/span>\u201cYea. That\u2019s awesome. Lots of very good,\u201d another agreed. \u201cPolice. Lots of very good people. All colors. Need more of this. Love is so much better than hate.\u201d<\/span>\u201cThank You, the safety of the child was the most important thing on the Officers mind. God Bless. We all go thru hard times, but there are truly people that care !! Amen,\u201d noted a third.<\/span>
