To top it off......we thought we'd thank these two people for taking over $1,000 of cosmetics from one of our local business owners. They must've known it was national random act of kindness day. It was so thoughtful of them to not bother the employees with having to make a sale. That left plenty of time for them to tend to more urgent matters.
We here at the Orem Police Department would really like to show these two do-gooders our appreciation and we were hoping you could all get us in touch with them. So, if you happen to know this shawty with her apple bottom jeans and boots with the fur, please have her call us at 801-229-7070, we have her thank you card already filled out, all we'll need to do is get a pic and some prints!

-A man ran a red light causing an accident. Before we were able to get there, the man took off. He was spotted a short distance away and stopped by Officer Norris. The driver was arrested for DUI.
