Unfortunately, at the time, officers were busy with several service calls, and they missed out on Keaton's official hours. But Keaton still welcomed the police to come by, even after he closed up for the day.
'Thanks for the delicious lemonade, Keaton—especially on this hot and humid day,' the post said.
All in all, everybody got a happy moment, from Keaton getting to meet officers and the police getting a nice refreshment after a long day's work.

Trudy Appleby 'Puzzle' Solved? 29 Years After Illinois Girl Vanished, Police Have a Suspect
Jamison Fisher, 50, is accused of killing Trudy Appleby, 11, who disappeared in August 1996, say police NEED TO KNOW Trudy Appleby, 11, went missing on Aug. 21, 1996, in Moline, Ill. Witnesses saw her getting into a car with an unidentified male, police said The suspect, Jamison Fisher, 50, was first named as a person of interest in 2020, police said Nearly thirty years after an 11-year-old girl went missing from a small town in Illinois, police have arrested a suspect and charged him with murder. Trudy Appleby vanished on Aug. 21, 1996, near her home in Moline, after she was seen getting into the passenger side of an older model gray vehicle driven by an unidentified man, Moline Police Chief Darren Gault said at an Aug. 13 press conference shown on local station KWQC TV 6 and reviewed by PEOPLE. Appleby, Gault said, had asked if she could go swimming with a friend on Campbell's Island, but her father said no. She went anyway and was never seen again. On Aug. 13, Gault and Henry County State Attorney Catherine Runty announced that a grand jury in Henry County had indicted Jamison Fisher, 50, on three counts of first-degree murder and one count of concealment of a homicidal death for Appleby's murder. 'For nearly three decades, this case has haunted not only Trudy's family but every investigator who touched it, and our community,' said Gault, who noted that he publicly named Fisher as a person of interest in the case in 2020. Fisher, according to Gault, was a family friend and "associate" of another suspect who died in 2014. The indictment alleges that Fisher strangled Appleby and knowingly concealed her death by hiding or moving her body, Runty said. Authorities still have not recovered Appleby's remains, Gault said, adding that he could not comment on that part of the investigation because it remains Moline Police Department served Fisher an arrest warrant in Scott County, Iowa, where he is currently in custody on unrelated charges, Gault said. 'This development is the result of tireless work by generations of investigators, unwavering support from our community and new pieces of information that helped us complete a long-unfinished puzzle,' said Gault. 'We never gave up.' Fisher will not be charged with kidnapping because the statute of limitations expired, Runty said. Related: Girl's Abduction and Murder Became 'Oldest Cold Case' in U.S. History. Here's How It Was Solved — Until It Wasn't "Today is not about celebration, it's about a resolution, it's about accountability, and most importantly, it's about Trudy Appleby," Gault said. "This arrest does not erase the pain, but it does bring us one step closer to closure. We hope it offers a measure of peace to her family and to all of those who have walked this journey with them." Fisher will remain in jail in Iowa pending further court proceedings there, Gault said. It is unclear whether he has retained an attorney who can comment on this case on his behalf.

Lawyer argues Meta can't be held liable for gunmaker's Instagram posts in Uvalde families' lawsuit
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A lawsuit filed by families of the Uvalde school shooting victims alleging Instagram allowed gun manufacturers to promote firearms to minors should be thrown out, lawyers for Meta, Instagram's parent company, argued Tuesday. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed in the May 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The families sued Meta in Los Angeles in May 2024, saying the social media platform failed to enforce its own rules forbidding firearms advertisements aimed at minors. In one ad posted on Instagram, the Georgia-based gunmaker Daniel Defense shows Santa Claus holding an assault rifle. In another post by the same company, a rifle leans against a refrigerator, with the caption: 'Let's normalize kitchen Daniels. What Daniels do you use to protect your kitchen and home?' The lawsuit alleges those posts are marketed toward minors. The Uvalde gunman opened an online account with Daniel Defense before his 18th birthday and purchased the rifle as soon as he could, according to the lawsuit. Meta attorney Kristin Linsley argued that the families provided no proof that minors, including the Uvalde gunman, even read the Daniel Defense posts on Instagram. She also said the posts didn't violate Meta's policies because they weren't direct advertisements and did not include links to purchase any products. Linsley said content advertising firearms for sale on Instagram is allowed if posted by 'brick-and-motor and online retailers,' but visibility of those posts is restricted for minors, under Meta's advertising policies from the end of 2021 to October 2022. 'This is not a playbook for how to violate the rules. This is actually what the rules are,' Linsley said. The families have also sued Daniel Defense and video game company Activision, which produces 'Call of Duty.' She also argued that the Communications Decency Act allows social media platforms to moderate content without being treated as publishers of that content. "The only response a company can have is to not have these kinds of rules at all," Linsley said. 'It just gets you down a rabbit hole very quickly.' The lawsuit alleges that firearm companies tweaked their online marketing to comply with Meta's policies, including by avoiding the words 'buy' or 'sell' and not providing links to purchase, and that the social media company did not protect users against such strategies. 'With Instagram's blessing and assistance, sellers of assault weapons can inundate teens with content that promotes crime, exalts the lone gunman, exploits tropes of misogyny and revenge, and directs them where to buy their Call of Duty-tested weapon of choice,' the lawsuit says. 'Parents don't stand a chance.' 'Not Instagram, not Meta, but marketing agencies provide advice on how to be in compliance with Meta's policies," Linsley argued. Last month, lawyers for Activision argued that legal proceedings against them should be thrown out, saying the families allegations are barred by the First Amendment. The families alleged that the war-themed video game Call of Duty trained and conditioned the Uvalde gunman to orchestrate his attack. The judge has yet to rule on Activision's motion and is not expected to rule immediately on the Meta case. Itzel Luna, The Associated Press Sign in to access your portfolio

Horrifying new details emerge in case of dad suspected of killing three daughters as cops fear he fled to Canada
As an extensive manhunt continues for a Washington father accused of killing his three young daughters, investigators have released disturbing new details they say link him to the murders. Travis Decker, a 32-year-old U.S. Army veteran, has been on the run since May 30, when he vanished along with his daughters, Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5. He is wanted on charges of first-degree murder and kidnapping. The bodies of the three girls were discovered on June 2 near their father's abandoned pickup at Rock Island Campground in Chelan County. But Decker was nowhere to be found. A medical examiner previously determined that the girls each died of asphyxiation, and their deaths were ruled homicides. On Tuesday, the Chelan County Sheriff's Office released grim details about the condition in which they were found. 'Two of the victims each had two separate bags over their heads and the third victim had three separate bags over their head,' the release states. 'In addition, several cable ties were located on the ground in the immediate area of the bodies.' Authorities had previously revealed that a bloody handprint found on the tailgate of Decker's truck matched his DNA profile, further tying him to the crime scene. Investigators again stressed on Tuesday that Decker is their only suspect, pointing to new DNA evidence allegedly linking him to all of the plastic bags used to suffocated his daughters and to one of the zip ties recovered at the scene. 'The completion of this DNA analysis provides additional evidence that indicates Travis Decker is the only suspect involved in committing these homicides,' the sheriff's office said. The tragic killings occurred after Decker had been granted a court-approved visit with his daughters. When he failed to return them to their mother Whitney Decker, she reported the girls missing, triggering a frantic search. Last fall, Decker's ex-wife had reportedly petitioned a court to modify their parental custody plan, claiming he had mental health issues and often lived out of his truck. The search for Decker has since stretched across multiple states over the past three months. Investigators say the Army veteran is trained in wilderness survival, a skill that may have helped him evade capture. Decker served in the Army from 2013 to 2021. He was deployed to Afghanistan for four months in 2014, and was an automatic rifleman with the 75th Ranger Regiment at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington from 2014 to 2016. A U.S. Marshals Service affidavit also revealed he had allegedly searched 'how to relocate to Canada' online before the murders, fueling fears he may have fled across the border. Possible sightings of Decker have been reported twice – first on June 10 along Highway 97 in Washington and later on July 5 in Idaho's Sawtooth National Forest. Both were ultimately ruled out. 'At this time, we do not have any evidence to suggest Travis Decker is either alive or deceased,' the sheriff's office. The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
