WESTON, Fla. -- A Broward County deputy was moved to tears when a boy offered to pick up his tab at a Dunkin' Donuts restaurant.
Deputy Donnie Jackson initially declined the offer, but the boy insisted on buying breakfast because he appreciates police officers and their “thankless jobs."
Jackson wrote about the gesture on Facebook:
"I was totally caught off guard," Jackson told WSVN. "I wasn't expecting it. I told him, I said, 'If I allow you to buy me breakfast, then you gotta allow me to have a picture with you.'" The deputy has been with the sheriff's office for 16 years.
According to WSVN, Jackson is searching for the boy because he wants to say thank you one more time.
