Video Catches Moment NJ Trooper Meets Man Who Delivered Him
The New Jersey State Police have released footage of the exact second a trooper realized he was pulling over the former cop who brought him into the world 27 years ago.
Trooper Michael Patterson stopped Michael Bailly for a minor motor vehicle violation on June 1 in the Kingwood Township area, and the story unfolds from there.
The New Jersey State Police tweeted out the body cam footage of the stop on Friday afternoon.
In the video, Patterson can be seen taking Bailly's license and registration, and realizing that Bailly is a retired Piscataway cop, the same town that Patterson grew up in.
"On Poe Place. It was 192," says Patterson when Bailly asks him what his address was.
After the video flashes forward, Bailly can be heard saying "It was the first baby I ever delivered, that's why I remember the address."
After the men went over some of the finer details of the story, Patterson extended his hand and says "That was me."
"We’re not sure what the odds are of this happening — maybe they’re close to the odds of a hole-in-one, winning the lottery, or being struck by lightning — but it happened," is how the NJSP described the encounter in their original post.

Seeing Double: 11 Pairs of Twins Graduate from Same School
Those who attended this year's graduation of one Montgomery County high school may have felt like they were seeing double as 11 sets of twins walked down the aisle.
The twins, Marie and Joe Scaramuzzo, Kiara and Isaac Deleon, Thomas and Fiona Warren, Ryan and Michael Cerula, Dylan and Cole Taylor, Owen and Cole Hartman, Allison and Megan Pagliarulo, Andrew and Michael Ditullio, Charlie and Blake Murphy, Zoe and Emma Mueller, and Max and Oliver Anderson graduated together Friday from Perkiomen Valley High School Graduation.
While many of the twins have been attending school together for years, they didn’t realize they were an anomaly until the yearbook asked to feature them.
"I didn’t realize this was an abnormal number of twins to have in a class," Marie Scaramuzzo, whose brother Joe also graduated, said.
Many of the twins said it was exciting to be graduating and finally gaining some space from each other.
"It's crazy that we’ll be going our own separate ways after being in the same house for 18 years," Fiona Warren, whose brother Thomas also walked, said.
Dylan and Cole Taylor will have a particularly long distance between them in a couple months.
"I'll be up in New York at West Point and he’ll be down… in Florida. We’ll be across the country. Thank God," Dylan said.

Police Investigate Death of 4-Year-Old Boy
Police are investigating the death of a 4-year-old boy in the East Mount Airy section of Philadelphia.
Medics were called to a home on the 7500 block of Thouron Avenue shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday where they found the child unresponsive.
The child’s father told NBC10 the boy suffered from asthma and woke up heavily with asthma symptoms. The father said he gave his son treatment and called 911. At one point the child lost consciousness, according to the father.
The father said he carried the boy outside once the ambulance arrived and gave him to paramedics. The ambulance never left the scene however and the boy was pronounced dead.
The father told NBC10 his son lived with him part-time at the Thouron Avenue home. Despite the father’s statements, police still consider the child’s death suspicious and are currently investigating.
