When Pennsylvania State Police troopers found out about what happened, they along with officers from local police departments, paid Owen a visit.

Owen, from Tunkhannock, hopes to one day be a police officer when he grows up, according to Pennsylvania State Police.

State police say they not only stopped to say hello, but they made a collective monetary donation to his cause, gave him a chance to wear "the big hat" and thanked him for his outstanding citizenship.
