Video: Police Deliver Pizza After Arresting Delivery Agent For ‘Reckless Driving'
Instead of letting the food go to waste, officers took it upon themselves to deliver the pizza to the customer.
Two police officers in the U.S. are winning hearts online after stepping in to complete a pizza delivery on the Fourth of July. A Grubhub driver was arrested for reckless driving while en route to drop off an order. But instead of letting the food go to waste, officers from the Tempe Police Department took it upon themselves to deliver the pizza to the customer.
A video shared by the police shows the driver's arrest, but what really grabbed people's attention was the surprised reaction of the customer receiving the pizza. The police department said they're committed towards helping the community anytime, day or night, and delivering the pizza was part of that promise.
In the video shared by the Tempe Police Department on X (Formerly Twitter), it first shows the moment when the delivery driver was getting arrested. Later in the clip, two police officers are seen carrying the pizza and walking up to the customer's door. They ring the bell, and when the woman opens the door, one of the officers politely tells her, 'Brandy? So your GrubHub guy got arrested, so still deliver your pizza. It still should be warm."
The woman replies, 'I really appreciate the pizza. Thank you very very much. I appreciate it."
In the caption, the department wrote, 'When a delivery driver was arrested during a traffic stop, our officers made sure the pizza still got to the customer. The order was Hot-N-Ready and the suspect was Caught-N-Steady. We're committed to serving our community 24/7, whether it's safety or pizza delivery."
Another shared, 'I would do the same (if I was a beat cop) just to get the laugh & make the shift interesting (beyond the shitty interesting)."
'Pretty darn nice of the officers to deliver the food. Unfortunately, most of the time people meet the police it's during a not great time in their life or for a speeding ticket. Showing the human side is a nice touch," a comment read.
An individual stated, 'I would be so confused as well if that was my order."
Another mentioned, 'This is legit hilarious, protect and serve done right."
One more added, 'Tempe Police assisted Arizona Faithful Network partner heat relief centre, Desert Palm Church of Christ. A community member had a medical emergency and left their dog. Tempe Police offered to go to the hospital to get information on who can receive the dog. That's heartwarming."
Officials told Fox News that the delivery driver was arrested for reckless driving and taking part in street racing.

10 Years Of Vengeance: Lucknow Man Murders Mother's Attacker, Then Throws A Party
Last Updated: He roped in four friends, Ranjit, Adil, Salamu, and Rehmat Ali, all on one condition, there would be a party after the deed. What began as a mother's humiliation a decade ago ended in bloodshed, celebration, and arrest. In a chilling tale that sounds straight out of a Bollywood revenge thriller, Lucknow's Sonu Kashyap spent ten relentless years tracking down Manoj, a man accused of assaulting his mother. His obsession culminated in a brutal murder—and a party that would seal his fate. Manoj, a coconut vendor, had assaulted Sonu's mother over a minor dispute and fled the area soon after. While Manoj vanished, Sonu's desire for vengeance only deepened. Earlier this year, Sonu finally found Manoj in Lucknow's Munshi Pulia area and began planning his attack. He roped in four friends, Ranjit, Adil, Salamu, and Rehmat Ali, all on one condition, there would be a party after the deed. On May 22, they ambushed Manoj after he closed his shop, bludgeoning him with iron rods. Manoj succumbed to his injuries in the hospital. The murder might have gone unsolved, but the celebratory party that followed turned out to be their undoing. Photos from the gathering, featuring drinks, music, and dancing, surfaced on social media. The saga of revenge ended not with triumph, but with handcuffs, an extraordinary reminder of how grudges can consume years, and ultimately, lives. view comments First Published: July 22, 2025, 13:04 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
