 The father of four, which was Kenny, asked the boy why he wanted to get arrested. The little kid said, I want to go to prison. I want to be with my dad, Kenneth Covell said. He said his father then sat down to talk to the boy, taking time to explain that he knew he loved his dad and didn't want to be without him. His son said that was one of the more heartfelt stories of the police officer's time on the force. So he was just an outstanding human being taken from us too soon.
