When Boy Asks Strangers for Yard Work to Save up for New Game Console, Cops Are Called–And They Buy Him a New PS5 (WATCH)

It’s not every day one reads that a young black man’s day was made after the cops were called on him.

The scene was set for the boy’s day to be succinctly ruined: in the Georgian town of Hapeville, an unnamed fellow was going door to door asking if there were any yardwork that needed doing.

His hope was to save up money mowing lawns and trimming hedges to be able to afford a PlayStation 5.

One of the neighbors had other ideas, specifically, picking up the phone and calling the police, and asking for him to be removed from the area.

Officer Colleran of the City of Hapeville Police Department was dispatched to the area where he quickly made contact with the boy.

“The young man was polite, respectful, and truthful,” wrote the department on Facebook. “He was in the area because he wanted to do yard work: pulling weeds, cutting grass, and trimming hedges to save up for a PlayStation.”

“Officer Colleran, a gamer himself, was impressed with the young man and thought he would help him reach his goal.”

Driving back to the neighborhood and meeting up with the boy, he surprised him with a PS5 right in the back of his squad car, one that he bought after getting his fellow officers all to pitch in around $400-$500.

“Officer Colleran and some of his friends were able to not only get this young man the video game system but a gift card to pay for the membership so he could play immediately.”

Before leaving the man to enjoy his console, Colleran ensured he knew how to contact him over the PS5 network so they could play together.
