Church worker shows support to Jacksonville officer after Baton Rouge attack

A Jacksonville man showed his support for law enforcement on Sunday by looking over an officer while he was parked outside a convenience store.

Officer Adam Ardizonni with Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said Kenny works at a local church and is known for bringing officers water while they are parked outside.

Ardizonni said Kenny heard about what happened in Baton Rouge on Saturday and was not happy.

A photo shows Kenny pretending to talk on the phone while looking over the officer's patrol car.

"You see, Kenny is not on the phone, he is watching my back. He later told me, "'No one is going to sneak up on my police officers,'" Ardizonni said.

He then offered Ardizonni a water bottle.
