Drivers in California's Madera County were at heightened risk of being pulled over Monday -- not because cops were looking to ticket them, but because the deputies were looking to distribute some holiday cheer. The Madera County Sheriff's Department received a $5,000 donation from a local business

Drivers in California's Madera County were at heightened risk of being pulled over Monday -- not because cops were looking to ticket them, but because the deputies were looking to distribute some holiday cheer.

"The biggest thing is, you're going to have to be active to find enough folks to give away $5,000 in 4-5 hours," Sheriff Jay Varney told his charges before they hit the road Monday morning. "The reason I pulled you over is the registration on the vehicle is expired," a deputy told Ryan Wood when he pulled over Wood in his truck. But instead of a summons, the deputy handed Wood a card from the Madera County Sheriff Deputies and the Employees of Agriland Farming Company, with a $100 bill tucked inside.

Department officials said the annual program, now in its fifth year, is a boon to community relations.
