Chief Freeman Carney surprised by staff 'water bottle' prank
At a Paradise Valley Police Department all‑staff meeting, employees were challenged to bring the most random container to drink from — everyone joined the joke except Chief Freeman Carney, who was surprised when the gag unfolded.
During a recent all‑staff meeting, Paradise Valley Police Department employees brought unconventional items to use as 'water bottles' — including a popcorn box, a tiny baseball cap, a horn, a stationery organizer and a water flosser. Chief Freeman Carney was the only one not told about the challenge and reacted with surprise and laughter as the prank was revealed. The full video is posted on the department’s Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter and TikTok accounts.
