9 Year Old Receives Special Birthday Gift

Porter-County-Sheriff-Aidan-1Aidan Carter received a special gift for his 9th birthday- a tour of the Porter County Sheriff's Department. Very interested in the police profession, this was a dream come true for Aidan, as he was born with neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder of the nervous system which causes tumors to grow on nerve tissue, and wasn't expected to live past age 2.

Named an honorary special deputy by Sheriff David Lain, Aidan received the VIP tour of the department, complete with a ride in a police car and a "brief incarceration". Aidan was also given a framed certificate and a real badge from a former officer.
