DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody Police Department said it's been flooded with cookies, cakes and cards after an officer who was dragged by a car joked that the sweet treats would help him recover.
Officer Nathan Daley was dragged more than 100 feet onto I-285 by a fleeing driver last week after a traffic stop on Ashford Dunwoody Road. Daley was left with an injured arm.
Daley made a video saying the only thanks he needed were sweets.
Since then, the department has gotten numerous cookies, cakes, brownies, pies, cards and letters, the department told Channel 2's Kristen Holloway.
Holloway spoke to Sgt. Robert Parsons, who said the sweets and well-wishes have come from all around the globe.

"We've taken calls from Australia and England, from people telling us they were sending cookies to Officer Daley, sending supportive messages," Parson said.
Officers delivered two truckloads full of baked goods to Daley's house this week as he continues to recover at home.
Parsons said all the community support is helping Daley get back on his feet.
”It's unbelievable how the community and worldwide is rallying around our injured officer, and it definitely raises our spirits," Parsons said. ”It raises the officer's spirits, as well as it helps aid in his recovery."
Parsons joked that Daley is probably going to need a gym membership after all the sweet treats.
