1:35Now PlayingOfficer Arnold set up a surprise gifting of a 2007 Ford Taurus to help out Meade who rides her bike to and from work for a total of 16 miles.
LANSING – For the last eight years, Jo Meade pedaled her bike each Sunday on a 16-mile round trip to her job washing dishes at the Cracker Barrel in Okemos. It took more than an hour each way.
Other days of the week she would spend two hours on three buses from her apartment at South Washington Park in Lansing to get to work, for a four-hour round trip.
That was the “before” part of her life.
The “after” part of her life was triggered by Lansing Police Officer Trevor Arnold.
On Tuesday, he delivered a 2007 Ford Taurus with the help of Kia of Lansing dealership and other donors.
“It had my heart racing. I didn’t expect it,” said Meade, who ended a dishwashing shift and got a lift from Arnold in a police car to the dealership for the surprise.
