A Boy’s Birthday Wish is Granted
Jonathan Snyder was about to turn five years old and had already determined his career goal.
He wanted to be a police officer when he grew up.
More than any other birthday gift, Jonathan wanted to go on patrol with one of the best law enforcement officers, Cpl. Robert Owens of the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office.
On February 28th, 2014, Cpl. Owens made Jonathan’s birthday wish come true. Jonathan was able to walk the beat at Isothermal Community College with his favorite cop.
While on patrol, Jonathan assisted with routine rounds, checking different areas by asking Isothermal employees if they’d had any trouble.
Jonathan also wrote Kid Court Notice to Appear citations and even made one arrest.
According to Jonathan’s mother, Kimberly, “the special group of folks at Isothermal who played along were good sports and contributed to Jonathan’s special day. Special thanks to Cpl. Owens and IT Server Administrator, Mark Carpenter, who was willing to be handcuffed and briefly detained by Officer Snyder. They made it a day that Jonathan will never forget.”
