When a neighbor reportedly filed a noise complaint about a seven-year-old Florida girl's birthday party, an officer showed up and kept the good time going.

According to the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office, a deputy dispatched to investigate the complaint found a small group of kids having fun. Instead of shutting the celebration down, the officer reportedly made the night even more special.

On Facebook, the sheriff's office posted a photo of the deputy surrounded by smiling children, and wrote, "Of course, no birthday would be complete without a tour of an OCSO patrol vehicle and high fives. Happy Birthday, Alondra!"
