Police officer finishes food delivery after driver cuffed while en route
A newly posted video online shows a police officer delivering Chick-fil-A food to a Doordash customer – because the delivery driver ignored a traffic ticket and was arrested en route.
“Hello sir, I got your Doordash. Your driver didn’t take care of a traffic ticket,” the officer explains.
The customer expresses gratitude and the officer continues, “He’s going to jail. He’s a good kid. Give him five stars.”
He said, “He just didn’t take care of a simple insurance ticket. He’ll get out of jail real quick. Somebody’s already on the way there. He’ll just check in and leave.”
The officer figured he would keep the situation from escalating, and deliver the food.

Actually similar situations have developed in multiple locations, sometimes officers deliver pizza when the driver gets caught and stopped, other times, other food.
Reports confirm officers who have made the extra effort to deliver to customers have been in Chicago, Arkansas, Arizona and several other states.
Reports said the latest video comes from body cam footage of a Rio Rancho, New Mexico, officer, Officer Steve Lucero, who “made sure the Chick-fil-A didn’t get forgotten.”
