Florida deputy delivers Chick-fil-A order after DoorDash driver arrested on DUI charges
View Date:2025-01-07 14:03:37
A DoorDash driver on the way to deliver Chic-fil-A to a Florida customer was instead pulled over and arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. But the police didn't let the food go to waste, instead delivering it to the customer themselves.
The Nassau County Sheriff's Office responded to reports of a possible drunk driver in the parking lot of a local Chick-fil-A restaurant, "striking cones and almost hitting multiple vehicles in the drive-thru" just outside of Jacksonville, the agency said Friday.
While the driver, later identified as 57-year-old John Kaminski, had left the parking lot by then, he was stopped shortly afterward, the agency said.
"Our deputy asked that Kaminski get out of his vehicle and observed him slurring his speech and stumbling while walking," said the sheriff's office in a statement on Facebook.
The driver was then instructed to perform field sobriety tests, which police say he couldn't complete. Kaminski was arrested on suspicion of DUI and taken to the Nassau County Detention facility.
An additional charge of possessing a controlled substance was also added after authorities say they found prescription drugs – Alprazolam and Hydrocodone – in unapproved containers in Kaminski’s car.
'Just in time for breakfast'
Later, sheriff's deputy Dale Hutcherson took the Chick-fil-A bag from Kaminski's car and delivered it to the person who had ordered it "just in time for breakfast," said the sheriff's office.
Residents and locals praised Hutcherson for delivering the order in the comments section of the sheriff's office Facebook post.
"I hope the deputy got a tip," one user wrote. And another: "Servin’ up justice right before breakfast! Excellent!"
The sheriff's office told USA TODAY on Tuesday that Kaminski was no longer in their custody and that he bonded out on Saturday. The case is pending before the Nassau County Court.
An attorney for Kaminski was not listed.
