WISH COME TRUE: 7-year-old becomes honorary police officer for the day

A 7-year-old with lymphoma was granted one wish: to be a police officer. Law enforcement with the Hastings Police Department made him an honorary member for the day.

HASTINGS, Mich. — When granted one wish, 7-year-old Dremony knew exactly what to ask for. 

He has lymphoma, and has been dealing with health issues since he was 4 years old, his mom Alisha Rose said.
