AUDIO: DONUTS HELP IN POLICE CAPTURE
Phoenix police were chasing a shoplifting suspect. The man ended up on the roof of a Motel 6. He then issued a demand in exchange for his surrender. He wanted doughnuts. The cops went to a nearby Dunkin Donuts. Manager Jonathan Kendall was willing to do what ever he could. In order to come down, the man on the roof had a specific demand: three jelly donuts, sprinkled with powdered sugar – powdered, not granulated. Kendall thought, “Well the guy is going to jail, I’ll make the special donuts for him.” The suspect got his donuts, and police got their man. And Kendall got a new variety of donut. “We’ll call it the “roof top” jelly doughnut. I think they’re going to be a big seller,” Kendall said.
* While you’re at it, why don’t you add some more sugar by glazing them?
* He issued a demand for his surrender? Can you do that?
* Pushy little bastard, isn’t he?
* When they passed him the donuts he said, “What? No milk?”
* How about this: “You come down right now or we fire the tear gas?”
* This was like a particularly mild episode of “Blue Bloods.”
* At least while he was on the roof of the Motel 6 he should have yelled, “Top o’ the world, Ma!!!” (If you don’t know that reference, shame on you.)
* Wow, these cops worked around donuts and still managed to do their job. That’s professional.
* Jelly donuts with powdered sugar on them? You can fault this guy’s criminal prowess but you can’t fault his taste.
