Millbrook police officer delivers groceries to grateful woman after Instacart driver is arrested
A Millbrook police officer went above and beyond the call of duty to help with a special delivery. Sairy Neal lives in Prattville, and she works as a state dispatcher for the National Forests. Neal said she was tired when she finished work on Saturday night, so instead of going to the grocery store, she ordered groceries through Instacart. She was surprised when a Millbrook police officer, identified only as Officer Young, knocked on her door. Get this – he was there to deliver her groceries! Neal said Officer Young told her that her Instacart driver had been arrested on a felony warrant. Officer Young wanted to make sure the groceries that were in his car were delivered.
“That was just a tremendous surprise, that this officer had taken the time to come to my house and to deliver my groceries! My sprinklers were on, and he went through the sprinklers. I came to my front door. He had actually taken the time to organize everything, including the eggs and the bread, to make sure everything was secure and kept cool. And then he helped me take all my groceries to my front door. And I really want to express my gratitude for Officer Young. And I’m very thankful that he took the time out of his day and his evening. For a Millbrook police officer to go all the way to Prattville to deliver groceries is great, it is tremendous,” said Sairy Head Neal.
Neal and her husband just moved here three months ago from New Mexico, and she says this act of kindness has made her even more appreciative of the southern hospitality here in Alabama.
