In a report by the Orlando Sentinel, Cheryl Nanartonis of Jensen Beach contacted 911 asking for help in reference to her broken refrigerator. The operator told Nanartonis that the number is only for emergencies but the deputies at the Martin County Sheriff’s Office took matters into their own hands.
A post by the sheriff department’s official Facebook account says “Realizing how upset Cheryl was, they knew they couldn’t clear the call without taking action. So, Deputy Marcum, Deputy Elliot and Sgt. Flynn made arrangements with the Jensen Beach Goodwill to donate a gently used refrigerator to Cheryl. The deputies even had it delivered, and Cheryl was back on track.”
