Fulshear Police Officers Help Reunite Homeless Man with Family

Recently, Fulshear Police K-9 Officer Jennifer Edmonds and Sergeant Kevin Zieschang went above the call of duty in an act of human kindness that reunited a family estranged by homelessness. 

Fulshear Police dispatch received a call regarding a man in Fulshear who appeared to be in disarray. Officer Edmonds and Sergeant Zieschang arrived on scene and discovered the man, who appeared to be struggling with mental health challenges. At the time, they were unaware that this man had been wandering homeless for over four years. He had been missing during that period and his family presumed he was dead.

The man was not committing a crime, but Officer Edmonds and Sergeant Zieschang knew they had to do something to help this citizen. Through social media, they were able to reach the man's family. The officers provided him with food and transportation to a location where he could be reunited with his family. Upon his family's arrival, a serious medical issue concerning his foot was discovered and needed immediate medical attention. Without medical care, he could have lost his foot entirely.
