She says Dennis is aware of just a few of the officers within the close by city of Mount Holly, NC, and after they noticed what occurred to him at Wendy’s … the police division determined to place him on the drive for a day.

We’re advised Dennis might be sworn in on Thursday … they’re going to give him a uniform and a hat that he will get to maintain as soon as his shift is over. He is gonna be busy, using in a police automobile, a police boat and he’ll test in on just a few companies within the division’s golf cart.
