Moon Township Police Officer, Public Works employee Commended for Compassion
|
 | | The Moon Supervisors with Moon Township Police Captain Greg Seamon and Sgt. Alan Morrow. Not Pictured: Public Works employee John Stephens. |
The Moon Township Police Department and Moon Supervisors commended Moon Police Sgt. Alan Morrow and Public Works employee John Stephens for assisting a truck driver who received news of a family emergency while passing through Moon Township. When Mr. Hare of Alabama was notified that his 16-year-old son was killed in a car accident, he pulled over at the Moon Township Police Department for help as he made arrangements to fly home to his family. The Hare family wrote to Moon Township to request public recognition for Morrow and Stephens, who assisted Mr. Hare on the night of December 13. Sgt. Morrow helped Mr. Hare with his flight arrangements, talked to him about his loss and offered him a meal, and Stephens provided off-the-clock mechanical assistance on his truck.
