It’s the last thing a Texas man expected when a Plano police officer pulled him over for an expired registration.
Hayden Carlo, a 25-year-old married father of two, told the officer he didn’t have any explanation for not getting it renewed except that he didn’t have the money.
“You get paid, pay your bills, and there’s your money. It’s gone,” Carlo told KTVT-TV. “I said, ‘it was either feed my kids or get my registration done.”
The officer wrote a citation and handed it to Carlo, who couldn’t believe what he saw inside.
“Opened it up and there’s a $100 bill. I broke down in my car, what else could I do,” Carlo said.
The officer, who wants to remain anonymous, didn’t tell anyone what he did, but Carlo’s grandfather wrote the police department a letter to thank them.
“You just don’t find that many officers who do this type of thing,” Billy McIntire told KTVT.
I think we need to read some good news too! It's not all doom and gloom out there. These acts of kindness reminds us that there are some decent people out there.

Thanks for posting that, Steph. On a day marked by a horrific tragedy it represents a small act of healing, not a complete cure, but a step in the right direction.
