BOTHELL, Wash. - A Bothell officer just happened to be at the right place at the right time Tuesday morning.
After just starting his shift, Bothell Police Officer Sands was patrolling a shopping center off of Bothell Everett Hwy when he noticed an unusual truck parked in the lot.
Sands stopped by the vehicle, which had no license plates the driver inside was slumped over the wheel, a Bothell media release stated.
The officer stopped to talk with the driver and noticed a large package in the bed of the truck with a name and address on it that did not match the driver’s. The stolen package in fact belonged to a Bothell child and inside the package: a new basketball hoop meant for the child’s upcoming birthday.
