However, that's not the end of this story. An officer "felt obligated" to deliver the meal to the resident who was thankful for the kind gesture, according to Laguna Beach PD.
"We at the Laguna Beach Police Department are no stranger to the midnight munchies," the department posted on Facebook.
"If your food delivery ambassador is stopped and has outstanding warrants, we'll get you your food in 30 minutes or...well I don't know, we are a police department after all," Laguna Beach PD quipped on their Facebook page.
