Skokie police officer shows his heart of gold with a teenager

Tweet

Justin Pritchett who is the operations manager of X Sport called the police department after a male teenager would sneak into the building to play some basketball without paying for the price of admission. When Pritchett called the police is Skokie Illinois to arrest the teenager for trespassing into his property to play basketball on the court, he was surprised that Skokie police officer Mario Valenti paid out of his pocket the $150 fee so that the teen could be a member of the X Sports club. Skokie police officer Erik Swaback said that the actions of Officer Valenti who has 23 years of experience with the police is setting an example to be nice to teens and help them do positive things with their life instead of committing crimes out of boredom. This is a message to those spoiled football players who paint nasty images of police brutality that have wrecked their protest in the National Football League this year.
