A Florida woman was in for a surprise when a police officer ended up delivering her pizza because of an eight-foot alligator hiding out under a vehicle in her driveway.
The Bradenton Police Department shared a video of the encounter on X, showing 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.

“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 said she wanted to grab a picture of the photo. To be on the safe side, the officer took a photo of the giant reptile under the car with her phone before the alligator was taken away.
