It apparently saves lives to check your phone.
Twenty six-year-old Courtney Best works at a pizza place in Corpus Christi, Texas, and was on a smoke break last Thursday when she saw an Amber Alert on her phone about a kidnapping.
She says she normally doesn’t pay attention to Amber Alerts, but this time she looked up from her phone and saw the EXACT same car mentioned in the alert — a white 2009 Dodge Charger.
Then she saw a kid inside, checked the license plate, and it matched. So she got in her car, started following it, and called 911.
Police eventually pulled the car over and arrested 29-year-old Channing Galbraith on kidnapping charges. The seven-year-old boy is back home with his family, and he’s okay.
Courtney says she’s not a hero for what she did, but that she’ll definitely pay attention to those Amber Alerts from now on.
