Actor Eric Stonestreet came home for the holidays and needed a ride from the Kansas City International Airport.
So what did he do? He sent out a tweet and asked Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Ben for a ride!
Hey @TrooperBenKHP! If u pick me up at MCI when I arrive in KC for Christmas, I will make a 5k donation to the #KHP SAFE program. #buckleup

Kansas Highway Patrol troopers picked up Stonestreet a little before 2 a.m. Friday. In return for the ride, Stonestreet promised to make a $5,000 donation to the Kansas Highway Patrol SAFE program.
