Police deliver Mother's Day flowers after arresting delivery driver for DUI
CNN
Police officers responding to a collision in Fairfield, California, made sure nothing got in the way of moms in the area receiving their Mother's Day flowers.
Lt. Jausiah Jacobsen told CNN no one was hurt in Sunday's crash, which caused "very minor damage." Police arrested the driver they said was at fault for driving under the influence. When taking inventory, they noticed around 10 bouquets of flowers in the vehicle. Jacobsen said one of the officers jokingly suggested they deliver the flowers, but the officers soon realized it was actually possible. An invoice showed where the flowers were supposed to go, so the officers divided up the deliveries geographically, and delivered them throughout the Fairfield area in about a couple of hours.
