Unlike most 8-year-olds, Juan Martinez doesn't spend his time climbing trees. Instead, he stays inside waiting for a heart transplant.
He was born with congenital heart disease.
In 2004, he had a high-risk operation to repair his heart. He was doing relatively well until last summer when it was determined he needed a heart transplant.
Last month, as he waited for his new heart, Adam's County Sheriff's deputies say he was bullied by a 19-year-old who stole his Playstation.
The sheriff's office investigated and the suspect was arrested for an outstanding felony warrant and for the alleged theft of the PSP video game. However, the video game was not recovered
The deputy who took the initial report started a collection to raise money to buy Juan a replacement PSP video game.
On Thursday, Juan was given a private tour of the Adams County Sheriff's substation. He got to meet Ben, the police dog, and became a junior deputy sheriff. Then he met Sheriff Doug Darr, and to Juan's surprise, he was presented with a new Playstation and several new games.
