>The good samaritan named Bill Johnson (from Idaho) was able to help deputies diagnose the mechanical issue (a bad water pump) and assisted with locating the part at an open auto parts store nearby. Bill then worked for almost 4 hours to get the K9 deputies patrol vehicle operable and ran checks to ensure there would not be any additional mechanical issues on the remaining 3+ hour drive back home to Colorado. I don't want to take away from the fact that this is a heartwarming story and that Bill is an awesome guy, but let's be honest; Had it been a truck driver with all kind of mechanical issues, and D.O.T. pulled up, they would have tagged the truck OOS and probably issued a couple of tickets. In my years on the road, I've met maybe 3 bears that, in my opinion, weren't just revenue collectors.
