In an act blending public service with unorthodox delivery, Tempe police officers found themselves completing a pizza delivery after the original driver faced handcuffs instead of customer handoffs on the Fourth of July. The incident, which reportedly began with a routine traffic stop last week, led to the driver's arrest on charges of reckless racing on local streets near Rural Road and Gilbert Drive, according to ABC15.
The spirit of service, at least as per the Tempe Police Department, extends beyond safety to ensuring that a customer's order remains "Hot-N-Ready," even when the deliverer is decidedly "Caught-N-Steady." The department took to social media to broadcast their commitment to serving the community 24/7, humor included. In a video shared by local law enforcement, the recipient can be seen receiving their unexpected delivery, complete with a side of surprise and gratitude.
"So your Grubhub guy got arrested so we still delivered your pizza," one officer explained to the customer, as quoted in a 12 News segment.
