SHAWNEE, Kan. (AP) - Getting stopped by police was joyful for residents of one Kansas City suburb.
KMBC-TV reports that Officer Ryanne Stevens was among the elves dolling out $100 bills on Wednesday in Shawnee, Kansas.
After pulling over a van for a minor traffic infraction, she learned that the driver’s wife has multiple sclerosis. She explained that a Secret Santa had donated cash and that she thought the man “might be a good recipient of that money.”

Another unsuspecting driver hugged Stevens, telling her, “Thank you so much, God bless you.”
This is the fifth year the Secret Santa has donated $10,000 for Shawnee police to hand out.
“I think it’s awesome,” Stevens said. “I think we have a really good community that we live in that’s very supportive of us and what we do.”
