Sports analyst and former basketball star Shaquille O’Neal can now add another accomplishment to his resume: honorary Clayton County, Ga., sheriff’s deputy.
Sheriff Victor Hill posted several photos on Facebook of Shaq being sworn in Saturday.
“When Shaquille O’ Neal raised his hands to be sworn in by ’THE CRIME FIGHTER,’ he became the tallest deputy in the history of the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office!” Sheriff Hill wrote. “Welcome to the crime fighting family Shaq!!”
The photos showed Sheriff Hill shaking hands with Shaq and the two smiling. The sheriff’s post has been shared more than 3,000 times.
This wasn’t uncharted territory for Shaq, who is also an honorary U.S. Deputy Marshal and a reserve police officer with departments in California, Arizona and Florida, Clayton News-Daily reported.
