Cops mowing lawns?

Just remember, it began right here in Brookhaven.

Back in July, several officers on patrol saw an elderly residents mowing her lawn. Several hours later, they noticed that she hadn’t finished, so Officer C. McCoy volunteered to finish the job for her. The photos were posted on Facebook, and received tons of positive feedback from the community.

Now, here’s a Facebook posting out of Madison County, AL, where a local sheriff is seen going above and beyond the call of duty.

A post made by Rachael Brindley shows the deputy pushing a lawnmower across her lawn.

“Y’all thought I was about to get in trouble or something,” Brindley wrote in the post accompanying the photo. “But this sweet sheriff [sic] stopped and insisted on mowing my yard for me!”

According to Brindley’s husband Ryan, Rachael had been trying to mow while looking after their four-month-old and he was unavailable. Ryan said the child was attached to her via a front-facing baby carrier.

Ryan told us the deputy stopped and insisted he take over the chore for her.

The Madison County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the actions of their deputy, though they did not identify the deputy’s name.
