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.

Farooq Abdullah condemns killing of Gujjar man in Jammu
Srinagar, Jul 27 (PTI) National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah on Sunday expressed anguish over the recent killing of a Gujjar man in cross-firing with police in Jammu city. Calling the killing of Parvez Ahmad 'deeply unfortunate and regrettable," Abdullah echoed Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's call for accountability and justice, emphasising that the use of force by law enforcement agencies must be responsible and proportionate. Parvez Ahmad (21), a Gujjar hailing from the Nikki Tawi area of Jammu, was killed in a crossfire when police were allegedly chasing drug peddlers in the Satwari area on Thursday. His killing has sparked protests by the community, with his family accusing the police of murdering an 'innocent" man in a 'staged" encounter. 'This tragic loss of life cannot be brushed aside. It is imperative that a swift and impartial inquiry be initiated so that the truth comes to light and those responsible are held accountable," Abdullah said. He extended his condolences to the bereaved family and prayed for eternal peace for the departed soul. 'My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Muhammad Parvez in this hour of immense grief. Justice must prevail," he said. Abdullah also cautioned that such incidents have previously caused irreparable damage to public trust and societal harmony, and urged authorities to prevent their recurrence.
