A California police officer is being praised after he stepped in to buy shoes for a woman in need.
Deputy Bruce Pierson went to a local shopping mall in Temecula, CA, after he received reports of a suspicious woman moving between parked cars.
When he arrived, Deputy Pierson found out that the woman was simply trying to find a cool spot to shield her bare feet from the hot California sun.
“She raised her foot, and her feet were blacker than my boots and calloused, and she said, 'I haven’t had shoes in two months,'" Deputy Pierson told Fox 5 San Diego.
He also discovered that the 18-year-old, Franki, has been living on the streets since the age of 12 and wanders about with her two dogs and boyfriend.
That’s when Deputy Pierson took Franki to Payless ShoeSource to buy her shoes, much like the New Jersey cop who bought a pair for a "disruptive" homeless man.
His good deed seemed to have a domino effect as two more shoppers asked to pitch in. Deputy Pierson’s wife later bought more items for the homeless woman, including dog food and several sweaters.
“It was the right thing to do,” said Deputy Pierson. “I would hope any human would do that.”
