Jeremiah Toller/Arizona Republic

Craig Kennedy shares his story at the Good Neighbors storytelling event at the Rebel Lounge in February 2016.

KJZZ partners with the Arizona Republic to bring you the Arizona Storytellers series. We record the live events and share them with you on the radio. In Phoenix, the storytellers sometimes share stories about our community or the life events that have shaped them in general. Megan Finnerty is the creator of the series. 

Craig Kennedy is a police officer in Ottawa, Canada. One summer night after a formal event, Kennedy was driving home. He was off-duty but noticed what looked like a large bundle of branches in the road. He slowed down and realized it was moving. Kennedy shared his story at the Good Neighbors storytelling night.

Craig Kennedy is with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The next storytelling event is July 19, 2016, at the Mesa Arts Center's Piper Theatre.
