Situation Report
STUTTGART, GERMANY — Local military police officer William Moya is being called "an all-American hero" by his command today after his actions were credited with saving countless lives on the base.
During a recent speed-enforcement activity, Moya, a 28-year old Staff Sgt., pulled over a motorist who was blazing through the Patch Barracks Shoppette parking lot with a "callous disregard for the safety of other personnel."
Since Patch Barracks is in Europe, it uses the metric system. The speed limit in front of the Shoppette is 10 km/h, approximately 6 mph.
"When we saw that car careening through the Shoppette parking lot, we couldn't believe it at first," said Sgt. First Class Tommy Trejo, a veteran MP and Moya's supervisor. "I said to myself, 'This guy is gonna get someone killed.'"
