Act of Kindness

Published on October 01, 2024

Commander Randy Molina recently presented Hooker’s Grill owner Ruth Hooker with a Police Department Act of Kindness Award. Ruth helped a customer get home safely, after “friends” left the restaurant without her. The customer had been drinking and her phone had died, too. Ruth arranged for a ride-share, then let the young woman’s parents know she was headed home. “If every restaurant owner was like Ruth, our entire city would be safer,” said Molina. Hooker’s Grill is located at 213 W Exchange Ave., in Northwest Police Division.
