Good to see a good cop story once in awhile.

Yeah, sure is. But this doesn't make up the Hillsborough Co sherrifs taking a woman into the station without letting her get dressed after they busted her for subathing in her own, completely fenced in back yard. Or the Tampa cop who stalked a young lady after stopping for a "traffic violation," stopping by her apartment on the way home. Or for the middle aged guy that took 42 slugs for reaching for his wallet after being stopped on I-75.

Just a few that come to mind.

Yeah, a cop acting like a human being is a nice change.

OK, I guess...If I own the store, I still press charges...

I suppose I’m just a mean guy...has this person heard of food stamps? If she earns too much for them, then she needs to stop wasting $ on other ****...

I fail to see why this is a good cop story. Looks to me like aiding and abetting.

Sallimo said he hopes the woman's fortunes will turn. "In my opinion, our chief would've done the same thing," Sallimo said about helping the family. "I think it's something we all would do."

God bless this officer for his kindness and his chief too.

Very commendable what he did.

When Sallimo and two other officers were called to the store at 4056 N. Armenia Ave. about 10 a.m. on July 21, the woman told them she had just been evicted and was living with friends.

It also appeared she took care of her daughters, who were about 1 and 3 years old, because their clothes were clean and their hair was well-groomed, Sallimo said.

Officers noticed the woman tried to take only baby products—no steaks, beer or other extravagant items—factors that Sallimo said made him want to help her.

Because of the woman's circumstances, Sweetbay did not to press charges, spokeswoman Nicole LeBeau said.
