I can’t make out the last name

I can’t make out the last name

EDIT: I blocked out the first name and phone number. The writing you see is all 1 name

For anyone who cares, story time

Back in 2018, my long term abusive boyfriend broke up with me (for what became the final time as I finally walked away for good) as I was leaving for work. On my way to the gas station I ran out of gas at the very top of the hill. I walked the rest of the way, got the gas, but I hadn’t *quite* hit the peak, so my puny gallon of gas couldn’t reach the engine.

The cops show up, and I need a tow about 100 feet to a driveway where I’m no longer on an incline. I’m emotionally devastated, financially broke, and in general just freaking out. A police officer says he has a daughter my age and hopes someone looks out for her if she’s ever in my shoes, then pays the $70 towing fee. He left his name and number on the bottom of the receipt.

I still think of him and how much of a difference he made in my life with that simple gesture. I was able to get the gas to drive the 3 hours to my parents house, which I wouldn’t have been able to with the tow - and that space is what helped me stand up for myself and let that breakup be the final one. I found the old receipt in my basement. The phone number doesn’t seem to work, and I’m not entirely sure what his last name is so I can’t call the city’s PD to ask if he’s still there.
