Unlikely Friendship Formed Between Trooper, Drunk Driver

It's a friendship so unlikely that it seems impossible. A college student, on the worst night of his life, meets the best person he could've imagined.

[@ThunderPants13]

This trooper is the kind of person we need in law enforcement. He used his position to help someone and made a huge difference in this student's life. Well done, sir.

I was arrested for a DUI and actually thanked and thankful for the police officer who stopped me from ruining my life and possibly taking someone's. I shook his hand when we had court and thanked him. Man changed my life.

Exactly! I want a "peaceful" officer, not a "weak" one... "If you are capable of great harm but choose otherwise, you're peaceful. If you're incapable of harm, you're weak."

[@ghostinng274]

Fantastic police work. Warms my heart to hear that he wasn't punishing him, but consoling him. What a good guy.

[@davidchristensen6908]

My hat is off to this officer. Huge respect and I wish I could convince him to move to my state and be an officer.

[@aliciacarstensen7904]

This was so my dad. He had such humanity and love especially for the down trodden. A marine and cop his entire life. Tough as nails but such a softy especially for unwanted kids like me. I love law enforcement but it's because of my dad and 2 detectives that saved me at 4.

Thank you, Trooper Jones with a mission!❤❤❤🙏🙏

[@whitediamond5230]

We need more like him. He needs to go to LOUISIANA and train the whole DISGRACEFUL department. He needs to be a TROOPER trainer nationwide. The best story of a law enforcement officer.

Never drive drunk! But people still doing it even after all the deaths 😢

Drunk people don't know they are that impaired. That is literally what alcohol does.

Christians are no less fallible/human than secular people. He says he had a "few drinks", sounds like he was pretty loaded if he was swerving all over the road. He's lucky he didn't kill somebody. I'm guessing he told his parents he was "studying hard" while instead partying hard.
