While it wasnt an emergency, a 6-year-old boy in Tallahassee was definitely in distress.
The little guy was lonely, so Officer Joe White did what came naturally.
He helped.
The officer went to the scene and explained to the youngster "how 911 is used and how its for emergencies. Then Officer White said hed always be a friend!'' according to the police departments Facebook page.
The boy got a quick lesson and, more important, a stuffed animal, according to the post. He also got to sit in the patrol car.
