The short arm of the law
Seven-year-old Darrien Salter gets out of a Smyrna police car to assist riding partner Lt. William Hegwood in a "traffic stop." The Lawrenceville youth's wish to be a police officer came true today courtesy of the city of Smyrna and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Darrien has been diagnosed with neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder that primarily affects the development of the nervous system. ANDY SHARP/AJC
