A transit police officer reached for his wallet instead of his ticket book when a bus driver told him a disruptive passenger was not wearing shoes.
Delaware River Port Authority Officer Kenya Joyner was on patrol Saturday when he was flagged down by the bus driver at Lindenwold High Speed Line Station. Joyner escorted the man from the bus because passengers are required to wear shoes.
Joyner tells The Philadelphia Inquirer ( http://bit.ly/1RKSDG5 ) the man reluctantly told him he did not have any shoes. The officer asked him what his size was and walked across the street to a store and bought the man a pair of boots that cost between $40 and $50.
Kayla Palmer of Pine Hill saw what was happening and she videotaped the exchange.
