Massachusetts officer delivers flowers to woman instead of ticket

(WISH) – A Massachusetts woman says a police officer went above and beyond to make her feel better after she got some devastating news.

Robin Sutherland said Wednesday she learned her mother would be starting hospice care. Later, a police officer pulled her over for speeding.

Sutherland says she became emotional during the stop. The female officer, Ashley Catatao, let her go with just a warning.

Sutherland says later that day, Catatao sent her a bouquet of flowers and a note.

The note said:

“I hope you find comfort in knowing she lived a long life and will continue to live in your heart and in your memories.

Signed,

The officer who pulled you over this morning”

Sutherland says the flowers the officer gave her will sit at her mother’s bedside.
