A Florida woman got a surprise when a police officer delivered her pizza because of an eight-foot alligator under a vehicle in her driveway.
The Bradenton Police Department shared a video of Officer Tolson responding to the call.
“Pizza…with a side of gator?” the post read. “Officer Tolson responded to calls about an 8-foot gator in a 55+ community, intercepted a terrified pizza delivery driver, and ensured a hungry customer was fed (and a hungry gator wasn’t). All in a day’s work!”
In shared body camera footage, the police officer can be heard telling a woman who arrived to deliver the pizza to stop because of the large alligator.
The officer suggested the pizza delivery person go around to the back of the house when she expressed fear.
Tolson attempted to reassure the woman that as long as the alligator stayed under the car, she could go around to the back of the home.
“Do you want to do it, officer,” the woman asked.
She then handed the pizza to Tolson, along with the receipt, as a neighbor warned her about the alligator.
Still, the woman opened the door to go outside, but Tolson immediately told her to stay inside because of the alligator.
“Oh my God!” she exclaimed. “My heavens! There’s an alligator under my car!”
Tolson told the woman to get back inside the house and assured her he would bring the pizza to the back door.
Then, she said, “Holy s–t!”
Once at the back door, Tolson was met by the woman with cash in hand, asking how much she owed, to which he replied he did not know as he was not the delivery person.
“You’re a policeman?” she asked in a surprising way. “They called you?”
After a brief exchange, the two swapped the pizza for cash, which Tolson said he would give to the delivery driver.
Before parting ways, the woman wanted a picture of the spectacle, so the officer took a photo of the giant reptile under the car with her phone before it was taken away.
