Bath Township Chief Fixes Lawn Turfed by Police Cruiser
It only took 10 minutes, but the Bath Township police chief took the time to seed someone's lawn that was damaged by a cruiser.
Two weeks ago, a lawn on Fairway Drive was turfed by a Bath Township officer en route to saving a man's life in the Montrose area.
Most importantly, the gentleman's life was saved ... more interestingly, however, is that Chief Mike McNeely helped put some life back into the Fairway Drive resident's lawn.
"I got some grass seed, fertilizer and straw from the Bath Service Department, went home and got my tools, stopped by Lowe’s for some topsoil and went out and fixed it up,” McNeely told the Akron Beacon Journal. “Officer [Steve] Wolf (the man who drove over the lawn in his cruiser) heard where I was, and he came by, jumped out and gave me a hand."
