Teen Protects Lady Cop At Gas Station Goes Viral In The Process

A teenage boy who stood watch while Harris County Deputy Constable Tommi Jones Kelley fueled up at a Texas gas station is going viral.

The selfie, that is making its way around the world via social media, seems like no big deal at first glance, but the story behind the photo gives it special meaning.

Kelley explains that while she was filling up her patrol car early in the morning, a teenage boy approached her asking if he could stand behind her as she pumped gas. When she asked ‘why,’ the boy told her he just wanted to make sure she stayed safe. h/t wgntv
