A group of Fishers police officers briefly added “package delivery” to their daily tasks Wednesday after a delivery driver’s arrest left dozens of packages stuck in transit.
The Fishers Police Department shared the story on social media, saying the officers’ side quest came to them Wednesday afternoon after they arrested a man who “fled from a traffic stop, crashed, and ran on foot, all while working as a delivery driver.”
While the driver left in handcuffs, the officers were left with the driver’s undelivered goods.
So, the officers took to delivering the packages themselves, braving the ice and snow to drop off nearly 50 packages, dividing them up evenly to get them to different parts of town.
“This is just another example of their dedication to serving our community in every way they can,” the department wrote on Facebook.
Police say the delivery driver was charged with driving while suspended, resisting law enforcement, leaving the scene of an accident, and dealing in marijuana.
