BENTONVILLE (KFSM)- The Benton County Sheriff's office made a young boy's birthday extra-special Saturday afternoon (March 14).

Sheriff Kelley Kradduck, his wife and 10 deputies put on a lights and siren parade for soon-to-be eight-year-old Caden Worrell. Caden's mother Crystal said he was recently diagnosed autism, and has a love of law enforcement.

Worrell said she contacted the Benton County Sheriff's office to see if they would show up at his birthday party at McDonald's in Bentonville. Deputies not only showed up, but gave Caden presents and his own personalized t-shirt. A K-9 deputy also paid a visit to the young boy.

"Over the last week I've shed many tears because it's overwhelming to have somebody say 'guess what, we are going to do this and this and this, and have this many people there,' even though somebody from school may not show up, he's got the sheriff's department and that's great for him," Worrell said.

Caden turns eight next week.
