BRADENTON, Fla., Jan. 18 (UPI) -- A Bradenton, Fla., police officer has gotten praise and may be punished for towing a homeless woman's shopping cart with his cruiser.
Homeless advocates in Manatee, Fla., have praised officer Nicholas Evans for towing the woman's possession-filled shopping cart 12 miles to the county jail, the Bradenton Herald reported.
But Police Chief Michael Radzilowski called what Evans did dangerous, adding homeless advocates are misguided.
Evans took Marie L. Brooks, 42, to jail on a contempt-of-court charge Jan. 9.

Police boss suspended over his
One of New Zealand's top policemen was suspended because he allegedly acted inappropriately toward a woman.
Superintendent Steve Fitzgerald, manager of the national communications centre, was placed on special leave by police after a complaint by a staff member.
Police have not given any details of the reasons behind the complaint, but a source said it related to allegations of inappropriate behaviour toward a woman.
Mr Fitzgerald was placed on leave about two months ago. A police investigation took place before the matter went to mediation.
It is understood the first mediation session, involving Mr Fitzgerald, his lawyer and staff from the police commissioner's office, including human resources director Wayne Annan, took place in Wellington on Saturday.
A police spokesman would not confirm whether the session had taken place. "We've said that there will be mediation. There is no timeline on it. I don't know when it will be completed yet. We might have some better idea later (this) week."
Mr Fitzgerald has not commented publicly on the complaint and could not be reached for comment.
Superintendent Steve Christian is filling in as national communications centre manager while Mr Fitzgerald is on leave.
Mr Fitzgerald, formerly head of road policing, was appointed to the newly created job in June last year. His role was to implement many of the changes recommended in a damning review of the three call centres by an international panel of experts.
Police Minister Annette King has refused to comment on the matter, saying it is for police to deal with.
