ralphwiggum 6 Posted March 29, 2002 the Story SLIDELL, Louisiana (Reuters) -- Two people left a 15-mile-long- trail of doughnuts after they took a Krispy Kreme truck from a parking lot and fled, police said Thursday. The truck was parked at a convenience store with its rear doors open and engine running while a deliveryman carried doughnuts inside, said Slidell police spokesman Rob Callahan. Two suspects hopped in the truck and sped off to the nearby town of Lacombe, with doughnuts spilling out along the way, he said. They abandoned the truck when they were spotted by police responding to reports of a dangerous driver who was losing his doughnuts. Passenger Rose Houk, 31, was captured, but the driver, whose name was not released, ran away. Houk told police they had been smoking crack cocaine for several hours before the incident, which occurred Wednesday, said Callahan. Their motive for taking the Krispy Kreme truck was unclear. "I don't know if it was a need for transportation or if they just had the munchies," he said. Copyright 2002 Reuters. All rights reserved.

RedRogue 0 Posted March 30, 2002 Hmm should I ruin a perfect image example of cops and their doughnuts.......... Yeah why not, someone has to stick up for smokie. Anyways, I'm willing to bet thats a photo taken from the inside of a parking lot of a police station facing across the street to a doughnut shop on the other side. The proportions of the vehicles to the building aren't right for them to be parked next to it. However this does raise the question; Was the police station or the doughnut shop their first? Either way its a very "convienient" location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WKK Gimbal 0 Posted March 30, 2002 Yeah, I bought it right away. I read a story about a police chopper landing on a parking lot outside a donut shop, to go get resupplies. The cop got a reprimande or something, but I bet the mates down at the station gave him a price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted March 30, 2002 Hah, in every country the police has one mayor prefered food-item. In Germany, if you look for a cop, dont call them, just search for a nearby shop where you can get Curry-sausages (and beer without alc) Why the hell is it called donut anyway. Why not something like dough-nut or so? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
