Video Captures A North Carolina Trooper Praying With Someone During Traffic Stop

A North Carolina State Trooper "caught on camera" praying during a traffic stop.  But this wasn't just any traffic stop or just any Trooper.

Dr. Ashlye V  Wilkerson of Columbia was traveling back from Durham where her father had been receiving treatments for stage four colon cancer.  They were in the car having one of their jam session when a blue light and a siren appears in the rear view mirror.

Dr. Wilkerson's dad, Deacon Anthony Geddis, spoke to the trooper and explained where they had been, his medical condition and why they may have been going a little fast.  The trooper's name is Jaret Doty and Trooper Doty has had his own bout with medical issues.  He knew no speeding ticket would be written that day.  Instead, he prayed with the family. Sadly, it appears as though Dr. Wilkerson's dad has passed away.
