Police Officer buys baby formula to help a mother and baby in need.
Desperately seeking help because her breast milk had dried up and she could not feed her 1-week-old newborn, a mother appealed to police officer Hunter Willoughby.
It was in the wee morning hours in the Miami (Ohio) Township, population 2,010, and the local supermarket was closed, but Cpl. Willoughby sprang into action.
This action was captured on his bodycam footage.

When Cpl. Willoughby arrived at the supermarket, at first, he could not get anyone's attention, but he kept knocking on the store's glass windows.
An employee heard him and opened the door.

"There is a mom. She said her milk dried up, and she can't find anywhere to buy formula," he told this employee.
"Is there anybody in here who can turn on a cash register...because I'll buy it for her and take it to her."
The bodycam footage then shows Cpl. Willoughby in the formula aisle looking at various choices and then selecting a can of infant formula.
As he heads to the cash register, another employee asks him if the mom will need a baby bottle. With that employee's help, he then selects a baby bottle.
Our story ends happily, as mother and infant are doing well because of the kindness of this police officer and the support he received from the supermarket personnel.
Everyone united to help.
