A Forsyth County woman got a treat from sheriff’s deputies and emergency dispatchers after she was tricked by vandals last week.
According to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, the woman’s pumpkin display was smashed by unknown vandals overnight. When the woman awoke to the carnage, she called 911 and spoke with deputies and dispatchers about the incident. The Sheriff’s Office admits that it will be very difficult to find the people who vandalized the woman’s pumpkin display, but the deputies and dispatchers involved went above and beyond to brighten the woman’s spirits.

On their day off, the deputies and dispatchers went pumpkin shopping, and returned to the woman’s home with nine pumpkins of various sizes to replace the ones she lost due to the vandals.
“This is why I know we work with the best dispatchers and the best deputies around!” the Sheriff’s Office wrote on its Facebook page.
