A toddler proved that he has a future in law enforcement after his unshakeable moral compass led him to tell police where a fugitive was hiding when no one else would.

The “very brave and honest” toddler was visiting a home in Kentucky when deputies arrived looking for 45-year-old Tina Hicks, who was wanted on six outstanding warrants.

According to the Whitley County Sheriff’s Department, none of the adults in the house were willing to say whether Hicks was in the home or not.

At that point, the toddler “stood up, put his hands on his hips, and stated ‘It is good to be honest… we shouldn’t lie, she is inside the room next to the bathroom!'”

Police noted that the brave child was visiting family at the home. “He was healthy, intelligent, and in no way appeared to be abused,” the sheriff’s department said. “He was just at the wrong place wrong time. If deputies thought he was a potential victim of repercussions, it would have been dealt with.”

According to law enforcement, Hicks was served with two outstanding warrants on charges of possession of meth and drug paraphernalia. She was served with an additional four outstanding district warrants, but police did not specify further.
