Police Rescue 92-Year-Old Man Turned Away at Bank Because His ID Had Expired



A Los Angeles County policeman went above the call of duty while responding to a report of an elderly man having a tantrum inside a bank. Answering a public disturbance call, Officer Robert Josett of the Montebello Police Department found a 92-year-old man who was upset because tellers wouldn’t give him his money. The elderly man’s California identification card had expired, and Bank of America’s policy requires that a valid government-issued ID be shown when making withdrawals. Officer Josett comforted the white-haired gentleman by gently suggesting that they take a ride over to the DMV where he could get a new ID card. With a little encouragement from Officer Josett, DMV workers quickly renewed the man’s ID and Officer Josett drove him back to the bank, where he was able to withdraw money just before closing time. With everything that’s going on in the country right now, this story is one that proves there’s still a little humanity left in the world.
