Mission police surprise drivers with turkeys during traffic stops
When drivers see the blue and red lights in your rearview mirror, chances are they’re worried they’ll receive a ticket.
Instead of a ticket, however, officers with the Mission Police Department handed out frozen turkeys Friday to drivers they stopped for traffic violations.
The turkey and trimmings were paid for by Mission police with a donation from the McAllen Emergency Room.
Police say they plan to have another event like this by the end of the year.
