A Prince Georgian celebrated her 99th birthday in style. Police threw her a party at a Largo church, and an officer baked her a cake.
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — County resident Sarah Horne turned 99 last month. The Prince George's County Police Department threw her a party fit for the occasion.

"We could not let the weekend go by without wishing Ms. Sarah Horne a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY," the department tweeted on June 28. "We had to give her the biggest PGPD celebration."
