DENVER – A good Samaritan who helped push three people out of the path of a pickup truck before being struck and injured has gotten a strange reward for his good deed: A jaywalking ticket.
Family members said 58-year-old bus driver Jim Moffett and another man were helping two elderly women cross a busy Denver street in a snowstorm when he was hit Friday night.

Donald A. Devens, 59, of Smithville, Mo., changed his plea from not guilty to guilty in October and told the judge that he was guilty of obstruction of justice because he altered the video from his patrol car dash camera that showed him kicking and punching, Wesley A. Lewis in a 2005 arrest.
So, we have cops passing out a jaywalking ticket to someone who shoved two old ladies out of the way of a truck, and then we have another cop who admits to (a) assaulting someone and then (b) tampering with the evidence of the assault in an attempt to hide it, and he gets… probation. Probation? Really? Can I kick and punch someone in handcuffs, lie about it, tamper with evidence, and get off with just probation?
