In the report, Officer Brongel notes that he learned the driver, who had a suspended license, was working for Uber Eats and was in the process of delivering an order from Taco Bell to a home less than a mile away from the traffic stop.

“Due to the fact the driver was unable to operate his vehicle anymore, I took possession of the food order and made the delivery,” Officer Brongel wrote in his report.
