SHAWANO, WI (WSAU) — A Shawano County student stuck on a math problem took a non-traditional means of getting help last week.
He called 911.
According to a Facebook post, the student said neither he nor his family was “very good at math,” and called the emergency line for help.
Deputy Mason was dispatched to help the unidentified boy although by his own admission he “[was] not overly proficient when it comes to math, but nonetheless, I responded to assist.”
After helping with the decimals problem, Deputy Mason gave the boy his business card and a reminder that the 911 line should be reserved for life-threatening situations, not homework help.
The post concluded by thanking Deputy Mason for taking the time to help the young man while he was on patrol.
