Police Use Helicopter for Doughnut Run

[ayoub_ibrahim]

An Albuquerque policeman and his pilot face disciplinary measures after using a police helicopter this week to swoop in for a midnight snack of doughnuts, officials said on Friday.

The officer and the civilian pilot were on night patrol over the city in a Kiowa OH-58 helicopter when they landed in a vacant lot next to a Krispy Kreme doughnut store around 1 a.m. on Thursday morning.

"The contracted pilot and a police officer landed the copter early in the morning, ran in and grabbed a dozen, came back out and took off," Albuquerque Police Department spokesman Brian McCutcheon said.

"I don't know whose brain child it was, but it's quite an ugly child," he said.

A Krispy Kreme employee who asked not to be identified said he didn't see why people were making a big deal of the unusual doughnut run.

"Cops got to eat, too," he said.

I would hesitate to call that food....it's one thing to stop in for a meal, it's another to pick up sugar-frosted saturated fat rings.

I reckon we've got the fastest and dumbest thieves alive. I mean they run round in three mile circles trying to escape from the police helicoptor. If they're on foot you'll see them in the Olympics next year. If they're driving I'm afraid they need new roadmaps.
