In St. Tammany Parish, Deputy Dustin Byers had pulled over a driver for going too fast on Highway 21. But as he approached the car, he quickly realized this wasn’t your average traffic stop.

Rather than issue a citation, Deputy Byers paused. He helped the man fix his tie. He listened. He stood quietly with him, offering compassion in the middle of a highway shoulder.
Because in moments like these, what people need isn’t punishment — it’s just a little grace.
