LONGWOOD, Fla. - Longwood police turned a potentially sour situation into a sunny one over the weekend after responding to a complaint about an "illegal lemonade stand." Instead of shutting it down, officers ended up boosting the young entrepreneur’s sales.

Six-year-old Jayana Timmons was selling lemonade on the sidewalk along a busy street when someone called the police. Three Longwood officers arrived to investigate but found that Jayana was not blocking traffic and didn’t need a permit for her stand.

Rather than closing down the operation, the officers decided to support Jayana by buying some lemonade, turning the encounter into a viral feel-good story.
