QUIRKY WORLD ... Five-year-old foots the bill for police officers’ lunch

USA: A five-year-old boy in New Jersey has picked up the lunch bill for his local police department.

William Evertz Jr saved up his pocket money for seven months and went to a Subway restaurant to get sandwiches for officers in Winslow Township, a suburb of Philadelphia. His mother said he told her he wanted the officers to rest so they could protect the town.

Police made the boy an honorary officer and gave him a special shirt and badges. He also got a ride home in a police car with lights and siren.
