A DoorDash driver was arrested during a traffic stop in Michigan last week, but the customer still received her order after state police stepped in to complete the delivery themselves.
At about 10:30 a.m. on Friday, March 6, troopers from the Michigan State Police Mt. Pleasant Post conducted a traffic stop. Troopers discovered the driver had an outstanding felony warrant and arrested him, according to MSP.

Before being taken into custody, the driver told troopers he had been working for DoorDash and was on the way to deliver an order to a nearby address.
During the stop, the customer called the driver asking for an update on when her order would arrive.
One of the troopers answered the phone and explained that the delivery driver was being arrested, according to police.
Rather than cancel the order, troopers decided to deliver it themselves.
Troopers coordinated with two additional troopers and drove the order to the customer’s home, delivering the food on behalf of the arrested driver.
Police said the customer was very appreciative that the delivery still arrived.
“Great work and community service by our troopers in resolving the situation while still ensuring the customer received her order,” MSP said.
