In Indiana, a police officer is being praised for his kind actions after he went out of his way to support one little boy and his lemonade stand. When Ron Glon, an officer in South Bend, was stopped by 12-year-old Jaelynn Wilson's lemonade stand, Jaelynn's mom recalled, "I thought, 'Oh, we're in trouble.'" But Glon told them he just wanted to help. He offered to spend the day helping out at the lemonade stand and match 100 percent of Wilson's earnings. "It came to my heart, and I thought of him [as] a family member," Wilson said, "because it really meant a lot for a police officer to help somebody who they don't even know." The 12-year-old dreams of turning his lemonade stand into a food truck, buying a Nissan GTR and joining the NBA. Glon noted that he wanted to build bridges in his community and not be someone that citizens fear, during a time of so much in the news about police brutality and distrust of the police.
