Make-a-Wish, Asheville Police Department bring child's dream to life
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WSPA) — The Make-a-Wish Foundation joined forces with Asheville's Emergency Response Team (ERT) and Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT) to make a child's dream come true.
Toby got the chance to partake in a 'villain battle' with four of the real Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who were flown in by Nickelodeon.
Officers supplied Toby with gear necessary for his big battle, including a vest, hat, and Nerf gun. He even got the change to ride along with officers, operate a drone, and arrest the 'bad guys.'
At the end of the day, Toby was given a badge from the Asheville Police Department and became an honorary member of the force.
