<\/div>

A Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy received a celebrity surprise during a ceremony celebrating her 30 years of public service.<\/p>

Rapper Vanilla Ice walked through the door of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office ceremony to congratulate Deputy Tina Izzarone as Sheriff Ric Bradshaw recognized her three decades of exceptional work.<\/p>

The surprise was orchestrated by a mother whose son, who has autism, formed a deep bond with the deputy during a past vehicle stop.<\/p>

In a social media post, PBCS stated that the driver left that initial traffic stop with a ticket, her son left with a sticker, and Izzarone left with a close friend after taking extra time to make the nervous child feel comfortable.<\/p>
