ST. TAMMANY PARISH, La. — A traffic stop in St. Tammany Parish turned into a picture-perfect opportunity for a St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s deputy to show compassion.

Deputy Dustin Byers with the 4th District pulled over a driver for allegedly speeding on Highway 21. According to the sheriff’s office, the man explained he was having a ‘tough day’ and was on his way to a funeral.

The officer noticed that the man’s necktie was a mess and that he could not tie the knot correctly.

That is when Deputy Byers seized the opportunity to help and tied the man’s tie for him.

A picture was taken of the shared moment and has since gone viral on social media, with people sharing their own stories of kindness from the deputies.
