An Iowa police officer has gone above and beyond the call of duty to help out a little boy.

KCCI first told you about the frightened Elridge boy who need an officer's help when his attic door opened.

Now, we're actually hearing what happened that night.

Six-year-old Hayden was spending his first night in a new bedroom. He thought a bad guy was in there to get him.

Hayden's mom told him there wasn't one, but he wasn't convinced and wanted police to check it out. That's when his mom called police and asked if they could inspect the home.

"I kinda maybe thought for a little bit that i was going to inconvenience an officer because obviously their job is demanding. And i didn't know if they would think it was silly," said Amanda Williams.

"I'm definitely not special. Any one of our officers would have done the exact same thing. We do this job for that reason, to help people," said Officer Bruce Schwartz.

Officer Schwartz not only checked out the home, he also met Hayden on his first day of school to make sure he was feeling better.
