CENTRAL POINT, Ore. — A pair of troopers went above and beyond the call of duty after a report came into the Oregon State Police about a suspicious person walking along a local highway.
When Sr. Troopers Harrison and Costanzo responded, they found a 56-year-old developmentally disabled man who was trying to make it home out of state, according to the department’s Facebook post.
After contacting the man’s family, the troopers arranged for a hotel stay — and footed the bill themselves for bus fare and food. The next morning, Sr. Trooper Harrison picked up the man from the hotel and made sure he got on the bus home.
The troopers said it was “a community effort,” but department officials are not surprised by the level of effort put forth.
