Police assist man walking in the snow

Someone called the Whitefish Police Department to report a man with a walker having trouble walking on Wisconsin Avenue. The caller said the man was trying to push his walker through the snow, and was concerned because the man was allegedly in the road and the caller thought that was unsafe. Officers located the man in question, who was on his way to the store to pick up a few items. Officers gave the man a ride home after he bought what he needed.
