Yesterday, Cleveland County Sheriff`s Office deputies traded in their usual rounds for a scoop of something sweet at Cops with Cones, hosted by Boiling Springs PD at Scoop A Doodle Doo Ice Cream and Sweet Treats.๐ฆ๐ฎ
Big thanks to the Thompsons, owners of Scoop-a-doodle-do, for welcoming our deputies and the community out for an afternoon of ice cream and conversation. Events like these are all about building relationships and having a little fun while doing it. It`s always a treat getting to connect with our neighbors outside of the usual calls for service.
Thank you to Boiling Springs PD for putting together such a great event, and to everyone who came out to say hello!

Twenty years. Help us find Justice for Justin.
It has been 20 years since Timothy โJustinโ Grant was tragically murdered. His family and the Sheriffโs Office are still searching for answers.
Justin was reported missing on July 17, 2006, after he was last seen on July 16. On July 18, Justinโs black Dodge Stratus was found abandoned at the Ramblewood Apartments in Shelby. Just days later, on July 21, 2006, Justin`s body was discovered in a wooded area off Selkirk Road with an apparent gunshot wound.
The Cleveland County Sheriff`s Office remains committed to solving Justin`s murder. Someone knows what happened. Even the smallest piece of information could help bring answers to his family and justice to those responsible.
๐ Call the Cleveland County Sheriff`s Office at 704-484-4822 or contact Crime Stoppers at 704-481-TIPS (8477). You may remain anonymous.
Please help keep Justin`s name and story alive by sharing this post. Together, we can help bring justice.
