While the envelope did not include a return address, Banks was able to find Ximena’s home address and decided to stop by for a quick visit. He brought along a few gifts, including the chief’s CHIP Challenge coin, WSOC TV reports.

Officer Whites died in late April from injuries he suffered in February when he was struck by a vehicle while helping a disabled motorist.
