In a world filled with a fair amount of negative, painful stories, this one should put a smile on your face.
Take a look at the body cam footage of this great interaction between Kentwood Police Officers Mendez and Joseff with Dominic Russell stranded on his power wheelchair on Sept. 17 near the corner of 44th St. and Breton in Kentwood.
After a conversation about how to get Russell home, whether via an ambulance, police car or other method of transportation, the officers ended up pushing him home a good distance. Russell’s wheelchair battery had died so he ultimately called 911 and within 10 minutes was greeted by Mendez and Joseff.
Kentwood Police Captain Tim Wierenga said the officers took turns pushing the heavy, motorized wheelchair until they reached Russell’s residence.
“(I’m) happy to pass along these positive stories; this one sure has gotten a lot of attention,” Wierenga said.
